The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index rose by 8.82 points, or 0.71 per cent, to 1,251.81 in the morning session on Tuesday.
An analyst at Krungsri Securities expected the index to fluctuate between 1,235 and 1,250 due to mixed positive and negative sentiments.
He said the market gained positive sentiment from hopes of new economic stimulus measures and the rising oil price.
“After the news that US President Donald Trump can leave the hospital on Tuesday morning has been reported, investors believe that he will urge Republican Senators to approve a US$2.2-trillion stimulus bill,” he explained.
“Meanwhile, the Centre for Economic Situation Administration aimed to discuss measures to stimulate expenditure during the latter part of this year.”
However, he said uncertainty over commercial banks’ third-quarter performance and foreign investors’ mass sell-offs of shares were still pressuring the index.
As an investment strategy, he recommended that investors buy:
▪︎ PTTEP, TOP and PTTGC that will benefit from the rising oil price.
▪︎ Banpu and AGE that benefit from rising coal price in response to China’s strong demand.
▪︎ PSL, TTA and RCL that benefit from the sharp rise in Baltic Dry Index.
The SET Index closed at 1,242.99 on Monday, up 5.45 points or 0.44 per cent. The volume of total transactions stood at Bt39.48 billion with an index high of 1,248.67 and a low of 1,239.06.
