“USD Weakness – THB Strength: Global Currency Outlook : SO OK TRADING : August 22, 2026” In August, global financial markets are closely watching the weakening of the U.S. dollar (USD). This trend is driven by multiple pressures: the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) inclination toward rate cuts, the surge in U.S. public debt, and capital flows shifting toward regions with faster economic recovery such as Europe and Asia. As a result, the Thai baht has continued to strengthen, reaching 32.68 per USD, its highest level in two months. Meanwhile, gold prices have surged, and Thai investors are facing risks of FX losses despite positive momentum in overseas equities. This analysis by SO OK TRADING provides an in-depth outlook on global currencies for August–September 2026, covering major currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CNY, SGD, AUD, KRW) and comparing monetary policy directions between the Bank of Japan (BOJ) and the European Central Bank (ECB) — both of which are becoming pivotal forces in shaping global market dynamics. Additionally, we highlight strategies for risk management and investment positioning during the upcoming “September Cluster” — a critical period marked by three major central bank meetings (ECB, Fed, BoE) that will set the tone for currency markets in the final quarter of the year.
