THE THAI stock market is still in an upward trend this year, thanks to positive developments in the global financial market, and the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index should rebound after the election, provided there is no political turmoil, an expert predicted yesterday.

But rather than playing it safe, the availability of choices will be the bond market’s new best friend in this fluid environment.
