TISCO ESU Advises Portfolio Rebalancing Amid Market Shifts
TISCO ESU suggests shifting investments from tech stocks to energy and materials as the global market enters a transition phase in the second half of 2026.
According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand on July 30, 2026, TISCO ESU has advised investors to consider rebalancing their portfolios for the remainder of the year. Senior strategist Thanathat Srisawat noted that the global stock market is entering a transition period, particularly as technology and AI-related stocks—specifically semiconductors—have become increasingly volatile and highly valued due to heavy leverage.
TISCO ESU warns that the market remains vulnerable, especially if the U.S. Federal Reserve decides to raise interest rates, which would increase financial costs. Consequently, the firm suggests rotating capital toward more stable sectors, specifically energy and basic materials, which are currently benefiting from a recovering commodity cycle and improved earnings per share (EPS) projections for 2026.
For residents and expatriates in Thailand, this shift reflects broader global economic trends that may influence local investment climates and the cost of living. While these projections offer a strategic outlook for market participants, it remains to be confirmed how these global sector rotations will specifically impact the Thai Stock Exchange (SET) or local consumer prices in the coming months. Investors are encouraged to monitor further economic data as the second half of the year progresses.
