Thailand’s stock exchange will tighten curbs on short selling and high-frequency trading as it attempts to revive investor confidence in the world’s worst performing equity market, Bloomberg reports.
Short selling and high-frequency trading will be limited to stocks in the SET100 Index, Asadej Kongsiri, president of the Stock Exchange of Thailand, told a press briefing Wednesday, cited by Bloomberg.
The course currently allows short selling of stocks in SET100 Index and other securities with some conditions, while there are currently no limits set on high-speed trades, according to Asadej.
