The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index closed at 1,290.89 today (September 10), down 2.51 points or 0.19 per cent. The volume of total transactions stood at Bt42.183 billion with an index high of 1,298.33 and a low of 1,286.15.
During the morning session, an analyst at Krungsri Securities said he expected the index to rebound to between 1,300 and 1,305 points before falling in response to a rise in the US Dow Jones Index.
“The Dow Jones Index skyrocketed to over 1.6 per cent after investors went in for mass buy-ups of stocks that had dropped sharply, especially in the technology sector,” he said.
“Also, the index gained positive sentiment from the rise oil prices and news that pharmaceutical multinational AstraZeneca will resume its third phase of clinical trials for the Covid-19 vaccine next week.”
The analyst advised investors to buy stocks for speculation as uncertainty related to intensifying US-China trade war and lack of domestic factors will continue pressuring the index.
Top 10 stocks with the highest trade value today were SCC, STGT, BAM, CPALL, AOT, PTT, MINT, SUPER, TASCO and CRC.
