Bangkok, Thai stocks fall below 1,300 points again. 'Pakorn' said that stocks are falling worldwide due to pressures from politics and geopolitics. He advised investors to look at information from all sides. The Thai stock market closed this morning (August 5) at 1,287.45 points, down 25.63 points, with a trading value of 28,357.10 points, down to a low of 27.18 points, causing the Thai stock index to fall below the 1,300-point level again. Mr. Phakorn Peetathawatchai, Director and Managing Director of the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), revealed that the global stock market has been highly volatile since Friday, with the US stock market falling significantly. Today, Asian markets have also fallen significantly, including Japan, Korea, and the Thai stock market, due to pressures from global market conditions, including politics and geopolitics. Therefore, investors should keep an eye on global market movements to use as information for investment decisions. The fact that global stock markets have fallen significantly is an opportunity for investment, but it is important to look carefully at which business sectors will be affected to a greater or lesser extent. However, it is still not possible to say whether the current situation, including the conflict in the Middle East, will be temporary or not. It is necessary to keep an eye on how the situation will improve. As for the performance of listed companies, I would like to ask investors to analyze the information carefully, including how each company's business is similar or different, whether income comes from abroad or domestically, and the cost. However, I think that each listed company is affected differently. Source: Thai News Agency
