Mr. Chaiyot Jiwangkul, Assistant Director of Krungsri Securities (KSS), through “Kaohoon Jor Talad Program” on March 8, 2022, stated that investors are still monitoring the development in Ukraine, but the pressure in stock markets was lower than yesterday, while seeing commodity plays attractive due to rising commodity prices in concerns of sanction on Russia, global leading supplier in commodity.
Meanwhile, Mr. Jiwangkul said that the outflow might be due to rising inflation that could top gross domestic production growth.
