Thailand Stock Exchange imposes temporary limits on daily stock fluctuations.

In response to heightened market turbulence triggered by recent unrest in the Middle East, the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) has implemented temporary measures to stabilize trading activities and protect investors. The SET Board, in an emergency meeting held on June 22, 2025, approved a set of temporary rules aimed at reducing price swings and allowing investors more time to process information and make informed decisions.

The key temporary measures, effective from June 23 to June 27, 2025, include:

1. Ceiling & Floor Adjustment: The daily price movement limits (Ceiling/Floor) have been reduced by half. For common stocks and investment units on SET and mai, the limit has been reduced from ±30% to ±15%. For foreign shares, the limit has been reduced from ±60% to ±30%. For equity-based products on TFEX, including Index Futures, Options, Sector Futures, and Single Stock Futures, the limit has been reduced from ±30% to ±15%.

2. Dynamic Price Band Reduction: The intraday price fluctuation band for each individual security has been narrowed from ±10% to ±5%, based on the most recent trading price.

These measures are part of a broader effort to mitigate the impact of volatile market conditions and ensure that investors have sufficient time to evaluate market movements and make strategic decisions.

The Thailand Futures Exchange (TFEX) has also aligned with SET by introducing corresponding measures for the derivatives market. The temporary measures are expected to help stabilize the market and provide a more controlled environment for investors during the specified period.
