Analysts attribute the downturn to a combination of external pressures, including
rising U.S. interest rates and weaker demand from China, Thailand’s largest trading
partner. “The SET is particularly sensitive to global risk appetite, and investors
are pulling back amid uncertainty,” said Somchai Amornthum, chief economist at Krungthai
Bank. “Domestically, concerns over fiscal stimulus delays and corporate earnings
have added to the pressure.”

The Thai government has sought to reassure markets, with Finance Minister Arkhom
Termpittayapaisith pledging measures to stabilize the economy. However, skepticism
remains, particularly as inflation continues to outpace wage growth, squeezing household
spending. Some experts argue that the market correction could present buying opportunities
for long-term investors, while others warn of further declines if global conditions
worsen.

Looking ahead, market participants will closely monitor upcoming central bank decisions,
including the Bank of Thailand’s next interest rate meeting, for signals on monetary
policy direction. With no immediate resolution to global economic headwinds, the
SET’s performance in the coming weeks will hinge on both domestic policy responses
and international market trends.
