2024年4月，泰国消费者价格同比上涨0.19%，较上月下跌0.47%有所反弹。这是自去年9月以来消费者价格的首次上涨，也是八个月来的最高值。与此同时，核心通胀率为0.37%，与上月持平，为2021年12月以来的最低水平。

Meanwhile, the core inflation rate stood at 0.37%, unchanged from the previous month, marking the lowest rate since December 2021.

周五，日元兑美元汇率升至153左右，本周涨幅将超过3%，这是由于日本当局从周一开始至少两次涉嫌干预。日本政府拒绝证实是否是日元突然飙升的幕后黑手，尽管日本央行的数据显示，东京方面花费了约600亿美元来支撑日元。一份报告还建议，日本可能会通过税收优惠，鼓励企业将利润兑换成日元。由于日本央行将利率保持在超低水平，促使交易员借入日元并投资于收益率较高的货币，日元兑美元今年暴跌近14%，4月29日跌至1美元兑160日元的低点。从外部来看，由于美联储主席鲍威尔排除了再次加息的可能性，日元受益于美元的下跌。

The Japanese yen strengthened to around 153 per dollar on Friday and was set to gain more than 3% this week, driven by a suspected intervention from Japanese authorities on at least two instances starting on Monday. Japan's government refused to confirm whether it was behind the currency’s sudden surge, although Bank of Japan data suggested Tokyo spent about $60 billion to prop up the yen. A report also suggested that Japan may introduce incentives for companies to convert profits into yen with tax breaks. The currency plunged nearly 14% against the dollar this year, sinking to as low as 160 per dollar on April 29 as the BOJ kept interest rates ultra-low, prompting traders to borrow yen and invest in higher-yielding currencies. Externally, the yen benefited from a retreat in the dollar as the US Federal Reserve Chair Powell ruled out the possibility of another rate hike.

美元指数周五跌至105.3以下，跌至三周来的最低水平，因为投资者准备迎接可能影响利率前景的关键月度就业报告。该指数本周也将下跌近1%，因为美联储保持利率稳定，美联储主席鲍威尔排除了再次加息的可能性，尽管时间有所推迟。与此同时，政策制定者承认，通胀在过去一年有所放缓，但仍在上升，并表示近几个月来，央行的通胀目标缺乏进一步进展。从外部来看，日元因日本当局的干预而大幅上涨，加剧了美元的下跌。尽管中国假期交易减少，但美元兑人民币本周也下跌了约1%。

The dollar index fell below 105.3 on Friday, sliding to its lowest levels in three weeks as investors braced for a key monthly jobs report that could influence the interest rate outlook. The index is also on track to lose nearly 1% this week as the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady and Fed Chair Powell ruled out the possibility of another rate hike despite a delay in the timing. Meanwhile, policymakers acknowledged that inflation has moderated over the past year but remains elevated, saying there has been a lack of further progress toward the central bank's inflation objective in recent months. Externally, the dollar’s decline was exacerbated by a sharp rally in the yen on a suspected intervention by Japanese authorities. The greenback also fell about 1% versus the yuan this week despite holiday-thinned trading in China.
