Just watching the Thai market and it's pretty weak right now. The SET closed at 1,410.37 on Friday, down about 0.5 percent after bouncing back earlier in the week. Looks like we're testing support around the 1,400 point level, which is concerning given the broader selloff we saw. The index is sitting just above that key support zone.



Global headwinds are definitely weighing on things. Oil prices are surging hard with the Middle East tensions pushing crude up over 12 percent on the day, and Wall Street got hammered too. The Dow dropped almost 1 percent, NASDAQ fell 1.6 percent. That kind of weakness usually flows through to the Asian markets.

On the individual stock front, most of the damage came from finance and property names, though energy stocks were mixed. PTT Global Chemical actually jumped 6.3 percent, but that was offset by losses elsewhere. Volume was solid at 8.9 billion shares.

Monday could be rough if this negative sentiment continues. If we break below 1,400, could see more selling pressure. Watching how the geopolitical situation develops over the weekend.
