Just been watching the Thai market action and it's pretty rough right now. The SET dropped another 6.92 points on Friday, sitting at 1,410.37, and honestly it feels like we're teetering on the edge here. That 1,400 level is looking like it could be serious support if things keep sliding.



The whole market took a beating across finance, property, and tech sectors. Some bright spots though - PTT Global Chemical surged 6.28 percent and B. Grimm jumped 1.71 percent, but that wasn't nearly enough to offset the selling pressure. Volume was solid at 8.9 billion shares, so people were definitely active, just more sellers than buyers.

What's really weighing on everything is the crude oil situation spiking hard - WTI jumped to $90.89, up almost 12 percent. The Middle East tensions are spooking the whole market, and Wall Street got hammered too. Dow dropped almost 1 percent, NASDAQ fell 1.59 percent. When global markets are this red, the Thai market doesn't stand a chance.

If we break below 1,400 on Monday, I'd watch out. The downside could accelerate from there. The momentum just isn't there right now. Keeping an eye on energy stocks since they're moving with oil prices - that's probably the key to where the SET goes next.
