The graph from the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) shows the temporary trading halt just before the end of the morning trading session on Wednesday. On a day when local institutions (5.4 billion baht) and brokers (9.5 billion baht) were net sellers of Thai shares, bargain-hunting foreign investors were net buyers of just over 1 billion baht. The day also featured a trading halt on the SET, mai and Thailand Futures Exchange (TFEX) at 12.18pm, when the SET index plunged 117.52 points. All brokers were temporarily prohibited from using program trading from the resumption of trading until the market close on Wednesday. The slump in Thai stocks effectively wipes out the nearly 14% gains that the market had experienced after the decisive election victory by the Bhumjaithai Party last month.
