**Overview**
In April 2026, the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) showed positive
momentum, with the SET Index closing at 1,493.69 points, representing a 3.15% increase
from the previous month and an 18.58% rise since the end of 2025. This growth aligns
with broader regional market trends, supported by a decline in geopolitical tensions
in the Middle East and improved sentiment toward risky assets. Despite global inflation
concerns and high energy costs, the Thai economy remains resilient, bolstered by
strong export performance, fiscal stability, and an improved credit outlook from
Moody’s.
