Thailand’s Stock Exchange (SET) will temporarily ban the short-selling of all securities and reduce daily price limits, starting tomorrow, April 8th through April 11th. This emergency action addresses significant market volatility linked to recent shifts in global tariff policies. Both SET and the Thailand Futures Exchange (TFEX) approved the temporary measures late Monday to curb excessive price swings driven by global trade uncertainties and give investors time to assess conditions, according to reports confirmed by Bloomberg . For context, short-selling involves borrowing shares to sell them at a high price and then repurchasing them later at a lower price to make a profit. In light of market stress, Thailand has temporarily suspended the practice to reduce volatility. SET’s Board of Governors approved a set of emergency trading rules, which TFEX swiftly adopted. These measures are to stabilize the market over the next three days, from April 8 to April 11, 2025. One of the major changes is the reduction of daily price movement limits. Stocks and unit trusts on SET and mai will now have a ±15% range, down from ±30%. Foreign shares will have a ±30% range, reduced from ±60%. Additionally, futures contracts on TFEX, including index, sector, and single stock futures, will be limited to a ±15% movement, down from ±30%.

SET has stated that these measures aim to give investors time to assess market conditions and make more informed decisions. The exchange will monitor the situation and adjust its approach as needed. Thailand’s intervention occurs against a backdrop of widespread global market turbulence. Investors have responded cautiously, prompting regulators worldwide to intervene to prevent further market declines. In related developments, stocks plummeted across global markets, sparking emergency measures in Asia and Europe.
