The Stock Exchange of Thailand Index opened at 1,360.62, up 8.44 points, or 0.62 per cent, this morning (June 23).
A stock analyst at Krungsri Securities expected the index to rebound between 1,360 and 1,365 points before falling in response to expected US Congress approval of a US$1-trillion (Bt30.94 trillion) bill for infrastructure development, which will boost economic recovery.
“Energy and petroleum stocks also gained positive sentiment from the increasing crude oil price, which rose more than $40 per barrel,” the analyst said.
He said bank stocks would be under pressure after the Bank of Thailand ordered commercial banks to conduct stress tests on capital management by July.
“Also, the index will come under pressure following uncertainty amid a second wave of Covid-19 in Brazil, the US and India,” he noted.
He recommended investors buy the following stocks:
▪ Energy stocks that benefit from the rising crude oil price, such as PTT, PTTEP, Top, PTTGC, IRPC, SPRC and IVL.
▪ Food stocks that benefit from rising pork and chicken prices, such as CPF, GFPT and TFG.
▪ Stocks whose second-quarter performance will improve, such as CKP, Tasco, STA and RS.
The SET Index fell by 19 points yesterday (June 22), or 1.36 per cent, closing at 1,352, mainly due to mass sell-offs in bank and financial stocks.
Total transactions amounted to Bt65.7 billion. Foreign investors made net sales of Bt3.106 billion in stocks, while net bond purchases amounted to Bt1.692 billion. There were 1,361 net short TFEX SET50 contracts.
