The Baht fell further while the SET dropped sharply over-week

คะแนนเฉลี่ย
  • The Thai stock market dropped amid various negative factors at home and abroad.
        The SET fell almost throughout the week amid various negative factors such as concerns towards the impact of various US policies under the leadership of Donald Trump (after being elected as the new US president), domestic political issues, profit-taking during the final stretch of the 3Q-2024 earnings announcement, and the Fed Chairman's statement indicating that there is no need for the Fed to rush rate cuts. The drop in the SET was also in line with the overall regional stock markets.
        However, the SET rose briefly around midweek, mainly driven by the relatively good performance of sectors that rely on domestic spending.
  • On Friday, November 15, 2024, the SET closed at 1,442.63 points, down 1.51% over-week. The average daily trading value was THB47,329.63 million, up 2.97% over-week. The mai closed at 321.61 points, down 4.20% over-week.
  • November 18-22, 2024, KSecurities expects the SET to have support at 1,430 and 1,415 points, but resistance at 1,460 and 1,470 points, respectively. KResearch advises investors to watch key factors, including Thailand’s GDP report for 3Q-2024 (November 18), Fed officials’ remarks and foreign fund flows. The US economic data that warrant close monitoring include October Housing Starts, Existing Home Sales, November Manufacturing and Services PMI (Flash), plus Weekly Jobless Claims. Close attention must also be paid to Eurozone’s and Japan’s October CPI, China’s November LPR, plus Manufacturing and Services PMI (Flash) of Japan, Eurozone and UK.
