The Thai Stock market on Wednesday halted the three-day slide in which it had slumped more than 20 points or 1.5 percent. The Stock Exchange of Thailand now sits just beneath the 1,530-point plateau and it may add to its winnings on Thursday.
The global forecast for the Asian markets is broadly positive, thanks to sinking crude oil prices and support from the technology sectors. The European and U.S. markets were sharply higher on Wednesday and the Asian bourses are expected to follow that lead.
