Thailand’s sovereign bonds — among the world’s worst performers since the Iran war erupted — face more losses as rising inflation risks add to worries over fiscal strain, analysts say. Local-currency Thai bonds have lost 4.1% since the end of February, the most after the UK among 29 global markets tracked by Bloomberg. The yield on Thailand’s 10-year notes surged 52 basis points in March, the biggest jump since September 2022. Consumer prices, which stayed negative last month due to base effects, are expected to turn positive “significantly” in the second quarter, a top government official said this week. He cited rising prices of oil, some farm products, meat as well as higher air transport and production costs. That suggests the impact of the global oil shock triggered by the war is expected to hit the energy-reliant economy with a lag. While the US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire , uncertainty over its implementation remains high , and analysts expect oil prices to stay elevated due to the severe damage the Middle East conflict has caused on the region’s energy assets. “Long-term yields have risen recently but are still underpricing” inflation and fiscal risks, said Kobsidthi Silpachai , head of capital market research at Kasikornbank Pcl in Bangkok. He forecast the 10-year yield to rise to 2.50% by year-end, versus Wednesday’s close of 2%. A move toward 2.8% is possible if pressures persist, he added. The Iran war has changed the course for Thailand’s bond market. The nation is particularly exposed to energy shocks, with more than half of its oil imports sourced from the Middle East. Beyond inflation, the conflict has also reignited concern over public finances as the government seeks to cushion the impact of the sharpest increase in diesel and petrol prices in decades on consumers. Planned measures include cutting fuel excise taxes, boosting stipends for welfare card holders and offering fuel subsidies to selected business groups. Expanding energy subsi...

Toru Hanai | Bloomberg | Getty Images Asia-Pacific markets were set to open mostly higher, as investors assess the implications of President Donald Trump's decision to suspend attacks on Iran for two weeks. "I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks," Trump said in a Truth Social post . "We received a 10-point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate." However, the "double sided" ceasefire was contingent on Iran agreeing to reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran, meanwhile, agreed to reopen the waterway for the next two weeks, if attacks on the country were halted, according to a statement from Iran's Foreign Minister. Israel has also agreed to the ceasefire, media reports said. But Iran's parliamentary speaker Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf, later on Wednesday, accused the U.S. of violating the ceasefire agreement . The violations are the denial of the Islamic Republic's right to enrich uranium and Israel's continued attacks on Lebanon, a drone's entry into Iranian airspace, he said. The Nikkei futures contract in Chicago was trading at 56,735, while its counterpart in Osaka was last at 57,000. That compared against the Nikkei 225's last close at 56,308.42.
