India, Aug. 10 -- The Thai stock market has finished higher in two of three trading days since the end of the three-day slide in which it had fallen more than a dozen points or 0.7 percent. The Stock Exchange of Thailand now sits just beneath the 1,625-point plateau and it's likely to remain in that neighborhood again on Tuesday.

The global forecast for the Asian markets is weak on continuing concerns over the conflict in the Middle East and the resulting spike in crude oil prices. The European markets were mixed and flat and the U.S. bourses were slightly soft and the Asian markets figure to split the difference.
