SET becalmed by worry over US virus surge
Jun 29. 2020
By THE NATION
Worries over trade and the pandemic nudged the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index down 0.58 points or 0.04 per cent today (June 29), closing at 1,329.76. Total transactions amounted to Bt48.903 billion with an index high of 1,329.94 and a low of 1,312.59.
During the morning session, a Krungsri Securities stock analyst forecast the SET Index would move between 1,300 to 1,310 points amid investor concern over a second wave of Covid-19, especially in the US, where businesses in Texas and Florida have been ordered to shut again after the contagion surged.
Worries were also sparked by Beijing’s warning to Washington not to interfere in relations between China and Taiwan, otherwise China may not purchase US agricultural products under a trade agreement.
The analyst expected the index to rebound in line with “window dressing” of stock in the second quarter, as well as purchases of the Super Savings Fund Extra (SSFX).
The 10 stocks with the highest trade values today were KBANK, AOT, PTT, CPALL, GPSC, OSP, ADVANC, GULF, TASCO, and KCE
