(Bangkok Post file photo)Thailand’s benchmark index slipped below the key 1,400-point range on Monday as escalating geopolitical tensions and global risk-off sentiment triggered broad-based selling. The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) index closed at 1,398.82 points on Monday, down 34.17 points, or 2.38%, with total trading value of 57.29 billion baht. Apichart Phubancherdkul, head of strategy research at Tisco Securities, said Thai equities remain highly sensitive to global sentiment, warning that volatility is likely to persist as geopolitical risks intensify. However, some analysts see selective opportunities emerging if tensions stabilise, particularly in sectors with strong fundamentals and pricing power.
