India, March 25 -- The Thai stock market on Tuesday ended the two-day winning streak in which it had collected almost 10 points or 0.8 percent. The Stock Exchange of Thailand now sits just beneath the 1,185-point plateau although it may tick higher again on Wednesday.

The global forecast for the Asian markets suggests mild upside, supported by oil companies and technology stocks. The European and U.S. markets finished higher and the Asian bourses are expected to open in similar fashion.

The SET finished modestly lower on Tuesday following losses from the food, consumer, finance, industrial, property and service sectors, while the industrials and technology stocks offered support.

For the day, the index slipped 5.13 points or 0.43 percent...
