**Maybank Securities (Thailand) expects Thai stock market volatility due to U.S.
tariffs affecting Mexico, Canada, and China, but tariff easing and China’s economic
stimulus could boost sentiment.**

**Maybank Securities (Thailand) also notes that investor focus will likely shift
towards key economic indicators and central bank policies in the coming weeks. Additionally,
fluctuations in global oil prices and regional geopolitical developments could further
influence market sentiment. Investors are advised to remain cautious and diversify
their portfolios to manage risks effectively.**

## Market Volatility Due to Tariff Policies

On Wednesday, Maybank Securities (Thailand) indicated that the Thai stock market
is likely to experience volatility. This is attributed to U.S. tariff policies impacting
Mexico, Canada, and China, with China and Canada having declared retaliatory measures,
and Mexico poised to do the same. Nevertheless, the U.S. Department of Commerce 
plans to introduce a tax mitigation guideline for Canada and Mexico. This move could
cause a short-term rebound in the market due to anticipated easing of tariffs.

## Economic Outlook and Investment Opportunities

China’s National People’s Congress meeting is expected to reveal further economic
goals and stimulus strategies, which might positively influence market sentiment.
Although domestic market factors appear subdued, the valuation is appealing as the
market’s P/E ratio has fallen below the long-term average. This decline could be
an opportunity for long-term investors to accumulate stocks if the index continues
to retreat, according to analysts.

## Economic Outlook

Despite the expected market volatility, Thailand’s economy is projected to show 
growth in 2025. Economic forecasts suggest a **GDP growth rate between 2.4% and 
3%** for the year. [2](https://www.thailand-business-news.com/markets/188358-thai-stock-market-and-economic-projections-for-2025)
This moderate growth outlook may provide some stability to the stock market in the
long term, although short-term fluctuations are still anticipated.

## Strategies and Recommendations

In light of these market conditions, investors and market participants may want 
to consider the following:

 1. **Foreign Investments**: The UOB Kay Hian report highlights potential opportunities
    driven by foreign investments, which could positively impact the Thai equity market.
 2. **Policy Support**: Kiatnakin Phatra Securities suggests that policy support could
    be a positive factor for the market, potentially offsetting some of the external
    headwinds. 
 3. **Long-term Focus**: The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) has announced a three-
    year strategy (2025-2027) centered on “Fair & Inclusive Growth,” which aims to 
    strengthen Thailand’s capital market ecosystem. [5](https://www.kaohooninternational.com/markets/548749)
    This long-term approach may provide some stability and growth opportunities for
    investors looking beyond short-term volatility.

Given the complex interplay of domestic and international factors, investors are
advised to closely monitor market developments and consider diversifying their portfolios
to mitigate risks associated with the expected volatility on March 5, 2025.
