The post Thai Baht: Range-bound after inflation data against dollar – Commerzbank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Commerzbank’s Charlie Lay highlights that USD/THB edged higher as Thai inflation data support a steady policy stance.

The post US Dollar: Warsh risks skewed to cuts – Commerzbank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Commerzbank’s Antje Praefcke argues that interest rate differentials are again driving the Dollar, with USD reacting strongly to weaker US data as markets reassess new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh. She suggests limited scope for further hikes but growing risk of earlier rate cuts, leaving USD more vulnerable to negative data than supported by positive surprises. Fed uncertainty weighs on Dollar outlook “Nevertheless, in my view, the risks are asymmetrically distributed.
