The Thai bourse later moved within a narrow range after reports that the Ministry of Finance downwardly revised Thailand’s 2026 economic growth forecast to 1.6 percent, raising concerns over the country’s economic outlook. The SET Index rose again from mid-week onwards after the Monetary Policy Committee decided to keep the policy rate unchanged at 1.00 percent, with buying interest across several sectors, led by bank and energy stocks (with additional support from rising global oil prices), and construction material stocks (after a major construction material company reported better-than-expected 1Q-2026 performance results). However, the upside of the SET Index became limited ahead of the long holiday, as investors turned more cautious amid prolonged Middle East tensions that showed no positive developments.• On Thursday, April 30, 2025, the SET closed at 1,493.69 points, up 2.58 percent over-week.
