The Thai stock market, as tracked by the Stock Exchange of Thailand, experienced a period of decline, influenced by a combination of global factors. Escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly between the United States and Iran, following threats from Donald Trump and United States — United States Central Command strikes, led to a broad negative global market forecast. This geopolitical instability caused crude oil prices, specifically West Texas Intermediate, to surge on concerns about the Strait of Hormuz closure, then plummet on hopes of a peace deal. Additionally, Wall Street saw significant losses, especially in technology stocks, due to valuation concerns and profit-taking after strong U.S. jobs data and rising treasury yields. The United States — Federal Reserve's monetary policy announcements were also anticipated by traders. Various Thai companies across sectors, including Advanced Info Service, Asset World Corporation, Thailand — Bangkok, and Energy Absolute, saw their stock prices fluctuate in response to these broader market movements.
