Friends, if you’ve been trading stocks for a while, you should know that during market open, prices tend to be highly volatile because there are pending orders from the previous day, and morning news often affects each individual stock. The Thai stock market opening time is very important for those who want to speculate on this volatility.

When it comes to what time the Thai stock market opens, it is divided into 2 main sessions: the morning and the afternoon. Before the actual market opens (pre-open), it collects orders for 25 minutes so you can get a rough idea of the prices, and then it enters a random 5-minute opening window. The system randomly selects the actual opening time to prevent price distortion.

Time details: The pre-open period for the morning session is 9.30 - 9.55. Then the opening time is randomized from 9.55 - 10.00. Therefore, the Thai stock market opens in the morning between 9.55 - 10.00. The actual trading session is 10.00 - 12.30. There is a market break from 12.30 - 14.00. For the afternoon session, the pre-open is 14.00 - 14.25, and the opening time is randomized from 14.25 - 14.30. Trading then continues from 14.30 - 16.30. In the pre-closing period, it runs from 16.30 - 16.35, and the closing time is randomized from 16.35 - 16.40.

The key point is that the Thai stock market opening time is not the same every day, because there is a randomized time window. So, if you want to avoid missing the opening, you need to be ready before 9.55 and 14.25 to catch the right trading timing each day 💸
