The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index closed at 1,322.55 today (August 26), up 6.56 points or 0.5 per cent. Total transactions amounted to Bt48.652 billion with an index high of 1,323.97 and a low of 1,311.14.
In the morning session, a stock analyst at Krungsri Securities expected the index to fluctuate between 1,310 and 1,325 on the rising oil price and ongoing US-China trade talks.
“The price of oil rose after the US cut oil production in the Gulf of Mexico due to a hurricane,” he explained.
“However, investors would delay trading to follow the US Federal Reserve’s announcement on Thursday for signs of US economic direction and monetary policy.”
The 10 stocks with the highest trade value today were STGT, SAWAD, AOT, PTT, KBANK, SCC, MTC, CPALL, MINT and PTTEP.
As of 4.30pm, the price of oil had fallen by US$0.01 or 0.02 per cent to $43.34 per barrel, while gold rose by $4.70 or 0.24 per cent, to $1,927.80 per ounce.
