In its June 2025 update, the FTSE All World Index revealed important shifts that will affect the Thai market. While no Thai stocks were removed from the index, the Thai equity market will be seeing a reduction of $150 million in weighing, roughly equating to 5,000 million baht.
In the large-cap segment of the FTSE All World Index, slight repositioning occurred. DELTA received an increased investment inflow of 165 million baht, demonstrating positive sentiment. Conversely, several major players faced a pullback: PTT saw a significant reduction of 975 million baht, CPN decreased by 513 million, CPF by 500 million, CPALL by 430 million, and BDMS by 285 million.
For the small-cap index, there were no inclusions or removals, signifying stability in this segment. Significant action, however, was noted in the micro-cap index, where new entrants MEDEZE, NKT, OKJ, and TMAN were added. Notably, no stocks were dropped from this category.
Krungsri Securities (KSS) advises investors to exercise caution with stocks experiencing reduced positions, as short-term selling pressure could ensue. Conversely, the newly added micro-cap companies might attract speculative activity in the short run due to their fresh inclusion in the index.
