Market leader Advanced Info Service Pcl saw its stock shoot up 5 percent, while second-ranked Total Access Communication Pcl climbed 10 percent, outperforming a 0.44 percent gain of the main Thai index.

Third-ranked True Corp’s stock was 1.2 percent higher, while Jasmine shares were suspended from trading on Tuesday.
