The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index closed at 1,326.81 today (August 27), up 4.26 points or 0.32 per cent. The volume of total transactions was Bt52.172 billion with an index high of 1,331.64 and a low of 1,320.91.

During the morning session, a stock analyst at Krungsri Securities said he expected the index to fluctuate between 1,315 and 1,330 points despite Germany and France moving to issue economic stimulus measures.

“We expect investors to delay trading as they follow the US Federal Reserve meeting today and tomorrow to seek signs of economic direction and monetary policy, resulting in the index volatility,” he said.

The top 10 stocks with the highest trade value today were PTT, GULF, CRC, VGI, CPALL, MINT, SAWAD, PTTEP, AOT and GPSC.

As of 4.30pm, the price of oil fell by US$0.14 or 0.32 per cent to $43.25 per barrel, while gold fell by $2.90 or 0.15 per cent, to $1,949.60 per ounce.
