Thai stocks may fall further due to Wall St, oil

BANGKOK, June 17 (Reuters) - Thai shares may extend their
fall on Wednesday after hitting a near two-week low a day
earlier, as weaker U.S. stocks and retreating oil prices should
mean more selling of energy and commodity shares, dealers said.

Crude oil CLc1 has dipped from recent highs, under
pressure from strength in the U.S. dollar and a return of
economic concerns.

"The market has entered a consolidation phase after
concerns that the recent rally was probably overdone," said
Therdsak Taveetheeratham, an analyst with Asia Plus Securities.

"With oil prices falling and the profit-taking we've seen
recently, the market is likely to see a correction throughout
this week," he said.

On Tuesday, the benchmark SET index shed 2.51 percent to
596.54, having earlier touched its lowest since June 4 at
593.39, dragged down by selling of energy heavyweights like PTT
PTT.BK, which fell 3.24 percent.

Foreign investors sold a net 2.16 billion baht ($63
million) of shares.
