Strong Baht, Rising Thai Stocks — SO OK TRADING’s One-Page Insight

Thai Baht & Thai Stock Market – February 2026: The Golden Opportunity for Businesses and Investors!

This month, both the Thai baht and the Thai stock market are hot topics for investors. While the baht enjoys short-term strength, clear signals show pressure to weaken in the medium to long term. At the same time, the Thai stock market is responding positively to political stability after the election.

 

Views from Financial Institutions

Krungthai (Global Markets): 30.85 – 31.35 THB/USD → High volatility from gold prices and fund flows
KResearch: 31.10 – 31.80 THB/USD → Strong in H1, pressured in H2
ttb analytics: Limited appreciation → Fed rate cuts vs. weak Thai growth
SCB EIC: Year-end target 32.80 → Strong baht may hurt exports, growth may hit lowest in 30 years
 

Supportive Factors for Baht Strength (February)

Political stability: Post-election confidence drives fund inflows into equities and bonds
Global gold prices: Rising gold prices trigger profit-taking, supporting baht strength
Current account surplus: Strong surplus gives Thailand a regional currency advantage
 

⚠️ Risks to Watch (Baht Weakening Pressure)

Low growth: World Bank, ttb, SCB forecast GDP growth at only 1.5%–1.6% in 2026
Interest rate policy: BOT may cut policy rate to 1.0% in H1 → Downward pressure on baht
