– SET Index closed at 1,651.02 points, increased 6.42 points or 0.39% with a trading value of 76.5 billion baht. The analyst stated that the Thai stock market edged higher as foreign markets were already priced in the sentiment of rising inflation and the fund inflow in the regional markets for the fifth straight day.
