Foreign funds are flowing back into the Thai stock market in large volumes, as the current Thai Proud Party won a landslide victory in Sunday's election, paving the way for policy continuity. On Monday, foreign investors net bought $531.3 million worth of Thai stocks, the highest level since February 2022. This influx of funds pushed the benchmark stock index up by 3.5%, making it the best-performing market in Southeast Asia. Citigroup analyst Preenapa Detchsri pointed out in a report, "Preliminary results indicate that the formation of a new coalition government may be more stable, which is helpful for the smooth introduction and implementation of long-term policies, making the situation more manageable compared to the political turmoil expected in 2023-2025." Improved investor sentiment and rising gold prices have also boosted the local currency. The Thai baht has strengthened for the third consecutive day, nearing its highest level since 2021.
