India, July 5 -- The Thai stock market has finished higher in back-to-back sessions, improving almost 25 points or 1.7 percent along the way. The Stock Exchange of Thailand now sits just above the 1,610-point plateau and it may pick up steam on Monday.

The global forecast for the Asian markets is flat to higher on easing Middle East tensions and hopes that the Federal Reserve will not tighten its monetary policy for now. The European markets were up and the U.S. bourses were closed for Independence Day, and the Asian markets are expected to tick higher as well.
