King’s Health Weighs on Thai Baht as Stocks Tumble With Bonds

Thailand's 88-year-old King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the world's longest reigning monarch, is in an unstable condition after receiving hemodialysis treatment, the palace said in a statement late on Sunday.
News about the king's health is closely monitored in Thailand, where King Bhumibol is widely revered, and the wording of palace statements on his health is intensely scrutinized.
....................
It is unusual for the palace to state that the king's health is not stable. Statements on his health are usually issued after the monarch's condition shows improvement or when he is recovering from an illness.
Thailand's main stock index .SETI tumbled as much as 3.6 percent on Monday and the baht THB=TH fell to more than two-month lows, following the news.
.............................
Sunday's statement was the second health bulletin this month after the palace said on Oct. 1 that the king was recovering after a respiratory infection.
On Saturday, the king was given hemodialysis - a way of cleansing the blood of toxins, extra salts and fluids - which made his blood pressure drop occasionally, the palace said.
Doctors gave him some medicine and put him on a ventilator to bring his blood pressure back to normal, it said.
They continue to monitor his condition closely, the statement said.

People who panic at the slightest cough or fart seem to run the markets.
The Brits vote to BREXIT (in a mere 2 years' time) and the pound plummets.
Now, a very old monarch is described as being in an unstable"" medical condition and people who should know better are squealing in despair.

Great headline: "Thai king remains in critical condition, advised not to engage in activity."

He hasn't been able to engage in any activity for years. Not sure what they are expecting him to do now. Break-dancing ? Hula-hooping?
