The Baht weakened slightly while the SET closed higher for the sixth consecutive week

คะแนนเฉลี่ย
• The Thai stock market surged amid foreign investors’ purchases. 
        The SET Index surged almost throughout the week, supported by continued net buying by foreign investors and hopes that a stable government can be formed. In addition, the Thai stock market was boosted by Thailand’s 4Q-2025 GDP report, which came out better than expected, and the NESDC’s revision of Thailand’s 2026 GDP forecast to 2.0%, up from the previous estimate of 1.7%. This eased some investor concerns about Thailand’s economic outlook. Stocks in several sectors saw gains, led by banking, thanks to dividend-related expectations, energy stocks, which benefited from rising global oil prices, and a major electronics component manufacturer as their 4Q-2025 performance exceeded expectations. 
        The SET Index climbed close to the 1,500-point level during the week, hitting a 1-year and 4-month high of 1,496.61 points before pulling back slightly towards the end of the week amid profit-taking pressure. The market also continued to closely monitor the domestic political situation. 

• On Friday, February 20, 2025, the SET closed at 1,479.71 points, up 3.45 percent over-week. The average daily trading value was THB73,837.87 million, down 2.56 percent over-week. The mai closed at 229.40 points, up 4.83 percent over-week. 
• February 23-27, 2026, KSecurities expects the SET to have support at 1,465 and 1,440 points, but resistance at 1,500 and 1,510 points, respectively. KResearch advises investors to watch key factors, including the BOT’s MPC meeting (February 25), Thailand’s January exports, domestic political issues, and foreign capital flows. The US economic data that warrant close monitoring include January PPI, December House Price Index, plus Weekly Jobless Claims. Other important overseas economic indicators to monitor include China’s February LPR, Eurozone’s January CPI and Japan’s January Retail Sales and Industrial Production.
