Maybank Securities (Thailand) stated that the Thai stock market trended higher this morning, in line with gains in regional markets where there was renewed buying interest in technology stocks. Additionally, ongoing conflict in the Middle East has led to expectations of progress in negotiations between the United States and Iran.
