This chart compares year-to-date (YTD) stock index performance across major Asian markets in 2025.


Key Points:

  • Thailand (SET) is the worst performer, down nearly –20%, signaling severe investor pessimism.

  • Malaysia, Shenzhen (China), and the Philippines also show negative returns.

  • Hong Kong (Hang Seng) leads with a gain of ~+18%, followed by Korea and India’s Nifty 50.

  • Performance is highly fragmented across the region, highlighting diverging investor sentiment.


Implication:

Thailand appears to be facing serious structural or confidence-related challenges, while capital is rotating toward North Asia and India. For investors, this may imply a reassessment of regional allocations and risk perceptions.
