The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index closed at 1,237.54 on Friday, down 10.05 points or 0.81 per cent. Total transactions amounted to Bt54.24 billion with an index high of 1,246.78 and a low of 1,231.11.
In the morning session, an analyst at Krungsri Securities expected the day’s index to fluctuate between 1,240 and 1,255 despite positive sentiment over a new US$2.2-trillion US stimulus bill.
“The sharp fall in the oil price due to uncertainty over fuel demand, and foreign investors’ mass sell-offs of Thai shares will pressure the index,” he said.
Around midday, the SET index plummeted 13.09 points or 1.04 per cent to 1,235.25 following news that US President Donald Trump had contracted Covid-19.
The 10 stocks with the highest trade value today were STGT, PTTEP, PTT, MICRO, KBANK, MINT, STA, DIF, AOT and BBL.
