International News
1. Thailand's economic growth is sluggish, and Goldman Sachs lowered the country's GDP growth forecast for 2024
Thailand's sluggish growth in the fourth quarter of 2023 weighed down Goldman Sachs strategists' forecasts for the country's GDP in 2024. The quarterly figures were well below Goldman Sachs' expectations due to a slowdown in private consumption and investment growth. The bank lowered its forecast for Thailand's real GDP growth in 2024 to 2.3% from 2.6%. It believes that the central bank will not start easing monetary policy until June, as weak data has been taken into account at the February meeting, while new data from the next meeting is limited. If economic activity and inflation data continue to let people disppoint, policy risks are expected to be skewed towards dovish (i.e., an early rate cut in April).

O) $1.5 billion in funding to expand semiconductor production to strengthen U.S. domestic supply chains.

4. The Federal Reserve is not in a hurry to cut interest rates, and the $6 trillion currency market fund in the United States also held on
Institutional analysts noted that investors are pouring billions of dollars into U.S. currency market funds every day. Corporate commercial directers have record amounts of cash in hands. Markets are effortlessly digesting excess U.S. Treasury bills. Investors have added $128 billion to U.S. currency market funds since the beginning of the year, according to the Association of Investment Companies. With more than $1 trillion in money flowing into the Treasury market since mid-2023, there is room for more cash in the market. This is in stark contrast to a few months ago. On the one hand, traders have sharply lowered their expectations for policy easing. Add to that the fact that corporate executives seem not to be in a hurry to spend money at post-pandemic period, and depositors remain concerned about the state of the banking system, all signs point to another big year for cash in 2024.
