The Baht and the SET rose slightly over-week

คะแนนเฉลี่ย
  • The Thai stock market reversed its  gains at the end of the week despite falling sharply during the week. The SET surged early to midweek, driven by  Thailand’s 3Q-2024 GDP report that exceeded market expectations of 3%, and news regarding additional domestic economic stimulus measures. Such positive factors boosted the purchases of various stocks, led by those in the energy, technology and banking sectors.
        However, the SET dropped sharply later amid sell-offs of stocks of a major electronics producer as it triggered Level 1 of the Market Surveillance Measures, despite the support of various large-cap stocks. The SET recovered somewhat at the end of the week in line with other stock markets, plus the fact that investors were less concerned about domestic political issues.
  • On Friday, November 22, 2024, the SET closed at 1,446.30 points, up 0.25% over-week. The average daily trading value was THB41,316.10 million, down 12.71% over-week. The mai closed at 322.57 points, up 0.30% over-week.
  • November 25-29, 2024, KSecurities expects the SET to have support at 1,440 and 1,415 points, but resistance at 1,460 and 1,470 points, respectively. KResearch advises investors to watch key factors, including Thailand’s October Exports and foreign fund flows. The US economic data that warrant close monitoring include FOMC meeting minutes, GDP report for 3Q-2024, October New Home Sales, PCE/Core PCE Price Index, Personal Income and Outlays, Durable Goods Orders, plus Weekly Jobless Claims. Close attention must also be paid to China’s October Industrial Profits, Eurozone’s November CPI (Flash), plus Japan’s October Industrial Production.
