The decline in oil prices boosts Thai Airways and related tourism stocks.

Driven by optimistic sentiments hoping to revive Thailand's tourism industry due to falling oil prices, Thai Airways International led the aviation and hotel operators sector. Thai Airways' stock price rose by as much as 7.1%, marking the largest intraday increase since June 30; AirAsia saw an increase of 0.9%. According to a report by Finansia Syrus Securities, the easing of tensions in the Middle East, which has led to a decrease in crude oil prices, will further improve sentiments in the aviation sector. Airports of Thailand rose by 1.6%; Erawan increased by 5.2%; Central Plaza Hotels gained 4.6%; Minor International was up 3.4%. A report by Maybank indicated that lower fuel costs will also benefit travel-related stocks, with the market generally expecting a gradual recovery in international travel.
