Over the past month, the Thai baht has appreciated 3.2% against the US dollar, showing significant upward momentum.

On Trump's "first day," Emerging Markets faced difficulties, setting several records.

The opening price of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index based on expected PE is 46% lower than the S&P 500 Index, marking the largest gap since Obama's first inauguration in 2009; the average yield of local currency bonds in Emerging Markets is also lower than the yield of USA Treasuries. Analysis indicates that due to USA policy actions, a strong dollar, and high USA interest rates, Emerging Markets stocks are underweighted by investors.
