YLG Bullion International CEO Paworn Nuwattanathrip said gold's climb this week marks its highest level in nearly seven weeks and strongest daily gain since February, driven by progress in U.S.-Iran talks over reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which has dampened oil prices and reduced expectations of Fed rate hikes in September. CME FedWatch Tool data shows investors have cut odds of a September hike to just 54.5%, down from 60–70% previously.

Markets increasingly believe inflation pressure has eased, signaling gold's downtrend may be ending. However, YLG sees risk of one more dip to $4,000–$3,850 if talks collapse, before a rebound upward. The firm projects medium-term consolidation only into Q2 2025, citing sustained central bank buying—the World Gold Council reported global central banks purchased 289 net tonnes in Q2 2024, up 62% year-on-year, while 45% of surveyed central banks plan to increase holdings over the next 12 months.

YLG's target for the next uptrend is $4,890–$5,250 per troy ounce internationally, or 76,500–82,200 baht per baht-weight domestically (at 33.08 baht per dollar). The firm recently launched dollar-denominated gold trading (Gold Spot) in real-time for 99.99% gold (minimum 1 troy ounce or 1 kilogram) and 96.5% gold (minimum 10 baht-weight) to shield investors from currency fluctuation.

Environment Minister Suchart Chomklin expressed concern for residents following a fire at an automotive tire recycling factory in Ban Bueng, Chachoengsao, ordering the Pollution Control Department to conduct intensive air quality monitoring and issue continuous public warnings. On August 7, 2025, Suchart said he was closely monitoring the situation at Sin Yi Tai Industrial Trade Co., Ltd. in Khlong Kiao subdistrict, Ban Bueng district, and instructed the Pollution Control Department to coordinate with relevant agencies, support firefighting efforts, inspect air and environmental quality, and continuously alert the public until the situation resolves.

Pollution Control Department Director Dr. Surin Vorakijthamrong revealed that the Environmental and Pollution Control Office Region 13 (Chachoengsao) and the pollution inspection unit were deployed to monitor the situation and measure air quality. At 8:00 a.m., students were evacuated from the risk area and returned to their parents' homes, with the public advised to remain indoors. By 9:20 a.m., officials had contained the fire.

The Pollution Control Department urged residents to wear dust masks, close doors and windows, avoid outdoor activities, and monitor vulnerable groups including young children, elderly people, pregnant women, and those with respiratory or heart disease. Anyone experiencing severe smoke or odor effects should evacuate to safe areas and seek medical attention if symptoms develop. The department also advised against collecting rainwater during this period. Regional environmental and pollution control offices will continue monitoring, measuring, and assessing the situation, reporting results until conditions return to normal.

A People's Party lawmaker was removed from Thailand's parliament on Friday after shouting calls for peace and humanitarian action during Myanmar President Min Aung Hlaing's official visit.

The incident took place at parliament as Senate Speaker Mongkol Surasajja was scheduled to welcome Min Aung Hlaing, who was visiting Thailand as a guest of the government.

Before the welcoming ceremony began, Bangkok MP Anusorn Thamjai arrived at the special reception area to observe the event and prepare to submit a letter through the Senate speaker to Myanmar's leader. The letter called for urgent action on cross-border issues and support for the restoration of democracy in Myanmar.

At around 10:50, when Min Aung Hlaing's delegation arrived at the reception area, Anusorn repeatedly shouted, "For peace, for humanity," prompting concern among organisers and security officials.

Parliament police then intervened and escorted Anusorn away from the area.

Min Aung Hlaing's visit to Thailand has drawn criticism from rights groups and Myanmar activists, who have called for greater pressure on the Myanmar military over the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis.

On August 7, Deputy Police Commissioner Watthana Yijeen led officers to inspect the home of a 14-year-old boy responsible for a shooting at Thepsirin School in the Banggrok area of Nonthaburi province, which resulted in injuries to numerous teachers and students and seven confirmed deaths.

Deputy Police Commissioner Watthana revealed that police and forensic officers inspected the residence where the suspect lived with his grandparents in Bangkhurat Subdistrict, Bangbuathong District, Nonthaburi, and found the front door locked from the outside. Officers had to cut the lock to enter and discovered two deceased persons—the suspect's paternal grandparents.

Watthana stated that preliminary investigation suggests the 14-year-old shot his grandparents in the early morning before leaving for school, then locked the front door from outside to prevent discovery before proceeding to carry out the school attack.

According to initial examination of the bodies, the grandfather was shot in the back with the bullet exiting through the front, while preliminary evidence suggests the grandmother was shot while sleeping. Forensic doctors are conducting detailed examinations.

Regarding motives and clues, Watthana noted that neighbors did not hear gunshots initially because the isolated house had few nearby residents. Information from the suspect's uncle, the youngest son of the deceased grandparents, indicated the boy had lived with his grandparents since childhood, enjoyed gaming and spent excessive time on computers, but showed no obvious signs of conflict or stress.

Watthana added that analysts are examining the suspect's computer and have preliminarily found violent video games, while investigators are probing certain behavioral patterns that may have motivated the attack. The school-related issues remain under investigation for additional facts.

Reports indicate the firearm used was a registered gun belonging to the grandfather. Investigators are intensifying efforts to determine the full motivation behind the shooting.
