**[U.S. Treasury Releases Report, No Economy Listed as Currency Manipulator]** Golden Finance reports that the U.S. Treasury stated on Thursday it will strengthen the scrutiny of foreign exchange trading activities of various countries, including any measures aimed at preventing their currencies from depreciating against the U.S. dollar. However, it did not accuse any major trading partners of currency manipulation. In its latest semiannual currency report, the U.S. Treasury noted that during the second half of 2024 and the first half of 2025, no major trading partner met all three criteria for enhanced analysis of currency trading behaviors. Due to Thailand's growing global current account surplus and trade surplus with the U.S., the Treasury has added Thailand to its "monitoring list" for close observation. With the addition of Thailand, the number of economies on the monitoring list has increased to 10. Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Ireland, and Switzerland remain on the list.
