Thailand’s SET Index closed at 1,391.73 points, increased 2.43 points or 0.17% with a trading value of 32.8 billion baht. The analyst stated that the Thai stock market traded narrowly as investors awaited the announcement of corporate earnings from the listed companies. The investment circumstances in the market were better as the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) was close to a conclusion on the new restrictions for short selling and program trading. Investors also expected lower inflation figures from the US and pushed bond yield down, while the deployment of China’s supporting measures for stock markets was on a positive note.
The analyst expected the market to trade higher than 1,400 points.
