The outlook for Asia in general and especially Thailand is fairly positive.

Worries about an economic downturn have hammered Wall Street this year. The S&P 500 remains down about 16% year to date, on course for its biggest annual decline since 2008.
U.S.-listed shares of Chinese companies rose, with Alibaba Group Holding Ltd gaining 1.4% after China eased some of its strict COVID-19 rules.
- China shortens quarantine by 2 days for close contacts, visitors
- China ends ‘circuit breaker’ penalty for airlines
- Will stop tracing ‘secondary contacts’ of COVID cases

The move will certainly lift the mood in Thailand further and we are expecting to see a strong day Monday.
