The Baht hit a 7-week low while the SET closed near last week’s level

คะแนนเฉลี่ย

•    The SET fluctuated during the week but closed near last week’s level.
The Thai stock market dropped early to midweek amid investors’ sell-offs while waiting for new supporting factors, led by technology stocks, particularly stocks of a major electronics producer due to the disappointing 3Q-2024 performance results. However, the SET surged later in the week in the opposite direction of other stock markets, driven mainly by an anticipated recovery in the Thai economy after the Ministry of Finance projected that Thailand’s GDP will expand by 3%.
The SET dropped slightly at the end of the week as investors became cautious ahead of US labor market data this week, as well as US presidential election and the FOMC meeting scheduled for next week.

•    On Friday, November 1, 2024, the SET closed at 1,464.17 points, up 0.05% over-week. The average daily trading value was THB40,425.26 million, down 16.85% over-week. The mai closed at 338.22 points, up 0.33% over-week.
•    November 4-8, 2024, KSecurities expects the SET to have support at 1,450 and 1,435 points, but resistance at 1,475 and 1,490 points, respectively. KResearch advises to watch key factors, including the result of US presidential election, FOMC meeting (November 6-7), Thailand’s October Inflation, Thai listed companies’ performance results for 3Q-2024 and foreign fund flows. The US economic data that warrant close monitoring include October Services ISM/PMI, September Exports/Imports, plus Weekly Jobless Claims. Close attention must also be paid to the upcoming BOE meeting, October Services PMI of Eurozone, Japan and China, plus China’s October Exports.
