(Bloomberg) -- Smaller-than-expected increase in Aug. inflation rate could trigger an acceleration in USD/THB’s rally, Bloomberg strategist Andrew Robinson writes.
Alert: HALISTER1- Consumer prices probably rose 0.43% y/y following 0.10% increase in July, median est. in Bloomberg survey shows; ests. range from +0.10% to +0.90%; data due 10:30am local time tomorrow
- Would be first increase in CPI in three months
- Inflation likely picked up on higher domestic retail fuel prices and partly a recovery in domestic spending, Standard Chartered writes in note today; forecasts +0.41%
- USD/THB could overcome 21-DMA resistance at 34.728 and advance to 50-DMA of 34.925 in near term
- Slow stochastics and 14-day RSI both rising, which are bullish signals
- USD/THB up 0.2% at 34.633; FX pair hasn’t traded above 50- DMA since June 29
