The Baht hit an over 2-month low while the SET index dropped below 1,300 points

คะแนนเฉลี่ย
• The Thai stock market fluctuated, reaching its highest level in eight and a half months during the week before plunging towards the end of the week. 
        The SET Index fell early in the week due to the lack of new supporting factors, coupled with Thailand’s continued negative inflation figures for September, raising concerns about deflation risks. However, the SET Index later rebounded to above the 1,300-point level, supported by positive news regarding domestic economic stimulus measures and buying interest in electronic component stocks, following the upward trend of US tech stocks. 
        The SET Index then moved within a narrow range midweek before rising again, driven by continued buying in electronic component stocks and power plant stocks (which are expected to benefit from the “Direct Power Purchase Agreement” pilot scheme). However, after reaching its highest in eight and a half months at 1,317.88 points, the SET reversed and dropped sharply at the end of the week. This was dragged by stocks of a major electronic component manufacturer because such stocks are subject to Level 1 trading supervision measures, as well as stocks of a major airline company due to concerns over the independence of its board of directors. 

• On Friday, October 3, 2025, the SET closed at 1,286.98 points, down 0.51% over-week. The average daily trading value was THB37,254.38 million, down 3.91% over-week. The mai closed at 242.41 points, down 1.54% over-week. 
• October 13-17, 2025, KSecurities expects the SET to have support at 1,270 and 1,245 points, but resistance at 1,300 and 1,315 points, respectively. KResearch advises investors to watch key factors, including development in the US government shutdown and foreign capital flows. Other important overseas economic indicators to monitor include August Industrial Production of the Eurozone, the UK and Japan, Eurozone’s September CPI, plus China’s September economic data such as Exports, CPI, PPI and New Yuan Loans.
