The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index rose by 7.86 points, or 0.60 per cent, to 1,324.97 in the morning session today (August 25).

A stock analyst at Krungsri Securities expected the index to rise between 1,325 and 1,330 points after the US Food and Drug Administration approved the use of blood plasma to treat Covid-19 patients, adding that this treatment would reduce the death rate by as much as 35 per cent.

“Also, the market gained positive sentiment from a rising oil price after two storms moved through the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in a suspension of oil production,” the analyst said.

He recommended investors buy:

> Stocks that benefit from a weakening baht, such as CPF, GFPT, TU, Asian, KCE, Hana and Delta.

> Domestic play stocks, such as HMPro, Global, DoHome, Com7, CRC, JMT, CHG, BCH, PTG, PlanB and CBG.

The SET Index closed at 1,317.11 points yesterday, up 17.85 points, or 1.37 per cent. Total transactions amounted to Bt57.07 billion, with an index high of 1,318.20 and a low of 1,299.05.
