In the morning session, a stock analyst at Krungsri Securities said he expected the index to fluctuate between 1,290 and 1,305 despite positive sentiment from China’s plan to meet with US representatives to review the first phase of their trade agreement.
“The index will be under pressure from uncertainty over the impact of Covid-19 on US economic data and over the political situation in Thailand,” the analyst said.
