Thailand’s SET Index closed at 1,464.43 points, increased 10.43 points or 0.72%, with a trading value of THB 45.08 billion. The analyst stated that the Thai market edged up due to buying forces from oil-related stocks, led by the PTT group, as investors responded to the elevated oil prices, with fund inflows into DELTA also contributing to the rise.
Moreover, there is a short-term positive sentiment from the government’s THB 2 per liter cut on the refinery gate prices.
For tomorrow, the analyst expects the Thai market to move with volatility, recommending investors to closely monitor the U.S. deadline for Iran.
The Trade Policy and Strategy Office (TPSO) revealed that Thailand’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) for March 2026 stood at 100.27, a decrease of 0.08% compared to the same period last year.
Thailand’s Energy Policy Administration Committee (EPAC) has resolved to decrease refinery gate prices of B7 and B20 diesel by THB 2, using its authority under the Emergency Decree on Remedy and Prevention of Shortage of Fuel Oils, B.E. 2516 (1973).
Iran has ruled out accepting a ceasefire with the United States, emphasizing the need for an enduring end to hostilities and insisting on guarantees to prevent a return to war. The announcement comes amid increased tensions as the U.S. deadline for action regarding the Strait of Hormuz nears.
Meanwhile, Iranian forces fired ballistic missiles and drones at Jubail Industrial City in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province. Although Saudi defenses intercepted much of the attack, debris caused fires near vital petrochemical facilities, prompting emergency measures.
