The Thai stock market rose early in the week in line with other regional stock markets amid expectations about the Fed’s rate cut at the upcoming September meeting. Additionally, the Thai bourse was boosted by the offering for public subscription of the Vayupak Fund. The SET later moved within a narrow range pending the FOMC meeting to be held around midweek. The SET surged again after the FOMC meeting in line with other regional stock markets, as the Fed cut rate by 50 basis points to 4.75-5.00% and signaled more rate cuts during the rest of this year.

However, the gains were capped at the end of the week as investors already responded to such positive factors for a while. During this week, finance stocks outperformed those of other sectors, while banking and construction material stocks underperformed the broader market.
