The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index rose by 25.14 points or 1.87, closing at 1,367.13 today (June 16), while transactions totalled Bt68.455 billion with an index high of 1,376.99 and a low of 1,362.38.
During the morning session, a stock analyst at Krungsri Securities said he expected the index to rebound to between 1,365 and 1,370 points in response to the US Federal Reserve’s move to buy corporate bonds worth US$750 billion (Bt23.24 trillion) to increase liquidity and support employment.
The analyst, however, advised investors to beware of short-term mass sell-offs due to uncertainty after a second wave of Covid-19 infections hit many countries including the US, China and Japan.
“The index also gained positive sentiment from the rising price of crude oil, while there were mass purchases of stocks added to the SET50 and SET100,” he said.
“We also advise investors to follow the Cabinet meeting on tourism stimulus measures,” he added.
The Cabinet recently earmarked a whopping Bt22 billion to fund three packages aimed at stimulating domestic tourism after the lockdown.
