BANGKOK (April 4): Thailand stocks edged higher on Thursday, reversing early losses, after an anti-graft body found no irregularities in the disclosure of assets by Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, while Malaysian stocks extended gains helped by foreign inflows.
Other share markets in Southeast Asia retreated in light volume as traders reduced positions amid a market holiday in major Asian bourses including Hong Kong.
After a choppy session, Thai SET index closed up 0.5 percent at 1,528. It had plunged to an intraday low of 1,480.41 ahead of the National Anti-Corruption Commission's decision, with some investors worried about political instability if Yingluck had to leave office.
Malaysia's main index ended up 0.18 percent at 1,688.46 amid foreign buying. The bourse said foreign investors bought shares worth a net 321.91 million ringgit ($104.50 million) while retail and local institutions were net sellers.
The Malaysian ringgit climbed to its strongest level in two months on inflows, as traders bet on the return of the ruling coalition in elections expected this month.
