15. What is interesting in the market now?
Client who can borrow cheap foreign currency loan (USD, JPY, etc) can now swap
into cheap THB funding.
For example, client who can borrow 5Y at LIBOR+1% now can swap into THB
funding with interest rate THBFIX-0.3% !!!
This is due to the imbalance market where a lot of clients need to swap from THB
funding into USD funding in order to invest offshore or to match with their USD
income flow.
For FX hedging, we still recommend clients to buy PUT option (for exporters) or
buy CALL option (for importer) as we expect fierce swing in the spot similar to
what we have seen last year while the premium is still cheap and not reflect the
real spot move.
