Kasikorn Securities (KS) stated that a rise in the stock prices of commercial banks, financial institutions, and debt management companies could be in response to Thailand’s robust 2Q24 GDP growth, which exceeded expectations, climbing to 2.3% from the previous quarter’s 1.6%.

In addition, the anticipated increase in share prices is further fueled by speculation surrounding the Monetary Policy Committee’s forthcoming meeting on August 21, 2024, with market participants expecting a potentially dovish stance from the committee, leading to signs for interest rate cuts to ease cost of living.
