In this scenario, investors are advised to hold gold and oil as hedges while selectively accumulating equities on market weakness, noted the asset manager. Portfolio strategy under this scenario favours higher allocations to gold and oil, reduced equity exposure, and a focus on quality and defensive stocks, noted the asset manager. "In this scenario, investors are advised to significantly reduce equity holdings and increase allocations to gold, energy assets, and high-quality bonds to preserve capital," said the firm. Gold and oil remain key hedging instruments amid geopolitical uncertainty. Pornanong Budsaratragoon, secretary-general of the SEC, said the SET, Market for Alternative Investment, Thailand Futures Exchange, LiVEx and the Thai Digital Asset Exchange continue to operate normally.
