US-Japan move to stop yen slide helps baht appreciate - Bangkok Post

The currency market had priced in a possible US rate hike next month, but softer economic data have prompted investors to reassess their expectations. A US-Japan joint intervention to stop the yen's slide is among the reasons the baht has appreciated beyond 33 baht to the dollar, economists say, noting that the Thai currency is likely to continue gaining against the greenback in the near term.
