The Baht weakened while the SET dropped almost throughout the week

คะแนนเฉลี่ย

•    The SET faced sell-offs after surging for two consecutive weeks.
        After surging in the previous weeks, the Thai stock market moved within a narrow range at the start of this week before dropping later on, following the sell-offs of foreign investors and domestic institutional investors. In addition, the drop in the SET during the week was in line with other stock markets amid expectations that the Fed is in no hurry to cut rates and uncertainties surrounding the US presidential election on November 5, 2024.
        However, the SET rebounded somewhat at the end of the week, boosted by the purchases of stocks of a major electronics component manufacturer on expectations of 3Q-2024 performance results. The technology sector outperformed other sectors due to the said factor. Nonetheless, the transaction volume was thin this week due to the lack of new supporting factors.
•    On Friday, October 25, 2024, the SET closed at 1,463.42 points, down 1.77% over-week. The average daily trading value was THB48,619.45 million, down 27.16% over-week. The mai closed at 337.11 points, down 0.95% over-week.
•    October 28 – November 1, 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 views that key factors to watch include Thai listed companies’ performance results for 3Q-2024 and foreign fund flows. The US economic data that warrant close monitoring include GDP report for 3Q-2024, October ADP Employment Report, Non-farm Payrolls, Manufacturing ISM/PMI, September Personal Income and Outlays, PCE/Core PCE Price Index, plus Weekly Jobless Claims. Close attention must also be paid to Eurozone’s GDP report for 3Q-2024 and CPI (Flash), BOJ meeting, plus October Manufacturing PMI of Japan, China and UK.
