Thailand's Stock Exchange (SET) has implemented a temporary ban on short selling from April 8 to April 11, 2025, as part of measures to mitigate potential market volatility. This decision follows a significant decline in the SET index, which dropped 4.5%, or 50.62 points, closing at 1,074.59 points on April 8. The trading value for the day was reported at 66.59 billion baht. Additionally, the exchange is lowering the ceiling and floor limits on stock trading from 30% to 15%.

The SET's decline marks its worst single-day drop since 2020, surpassing the selloff experienced during the pandemic in March 2020.
