Thailand will temporarily ban short selling of stocks and tighten other share trading rules to curb volatility as the fallout from the US’s sweeping tariffs roil global markets.
The ban on short selling of all securities, except for market makers, and a narrower band for stock movements will be effective from Tuesday and no longer than April 11, the Stock Exchange of Thailand said in a statement on Monday after its board held a special meeting. Financial markets in Thailand were closed on Monday for a local holiday.
