0913 GMT - Thailand's headline inflation is forecast to peak at around 4.4% in 1Q 2027, HSBC economists say in a research report. Inflation eased to 2.42% in June from May's 2.79% due to lower gasoline and diesel retail prices. June was also the third straight month that inflation was within the Bank of Thailand's 1%-3% target range. However, inflation is expected to rise above the BOT's target range in 2H, partly due to the El Nino season. HSBC expects inflation to ease back below 2.0% as early as 2Q 2027 as base effects fade.
