The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) has announced the early termination of its recently imposed trading restrictions, bringing a measure of normalcy back to the market after a period of geopolitical uncertainty.
Starting June 25, all ceiling and floor limits will revert to their previous levels of 30%, alongside the restoration of the regular intraday price band, following signs of de-escalation in the Middle East.
The move comes on the heels of a stated ceasefire brokered by the United States. U.S. President Donald Trump declared, “THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!” in a post on Truth Social during the early hours on Tuesday, providing a shot of reassurance to investors worldwide.
Just days earlier, Thai market authorities had taken a step of tightening daily price movement limits and reducing volatility thresholds in response to spiking tensions after reported missile exchanges between Iran and Israel. The measures, originally scheduled to run through June 27, were designed to cushion Thai equities and derivatives markets from external shocks.
Market participants are expected to welcome the shift, as the relaxation of trading curbs typically translates to improved liquidity and more natural price discovery. The development underscores how rapidly shifting geopolitical landscapes can impact financial markets in Asia—and how authorities remain poised to intervene when required, but just as ready to roll back measures when risks subside.
