Port Authority of Thailand is studying further expansion of Laem Chabang, Thailand's largest deepwater port, to handle rising shipments of motor vehicles, electronics and petrochemicals. Laem Chabang, about 120 km southeast of Bangkok, is the main seaport for the industrial heartland and a core hub of the Eastern Economic Corridor, which has attracted investment in electric vehicles, electronics, data centres and other advanced manufacturing. Thailand's September exports and imports exceeded expectations, supported by global demand for AI- and data centre-related electronic components and machinery.

Germany's October manufacturing PMI showed output and new orders continued to expand, though growth slowed slightly. Backlogs increased further and employment was broadly unchanged. Input-price inflation jumped to a five-month high, weighing on firms' expectations.
