Poon believed the baht is likely to swing sideways on a strengthening dollar as investors were concerned the US Federal Reserve would increase the interest rate more than expected in March.

Moreover, foreign investors were offloading Thai stocks, further pressuring the baht.

The key support level for the Thai currency would be from 32.90 to 33.00 – a level which importers are waiting for so they can purchase dollars. Meanwhile, the baht’s key resistance level would be from 33.20 to 33.30 – a level eyed by exporters so they can offload their dollars.
