The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index closed at 1,250.15 on Tuesday, up 7.16 points or 0.58 per cent, while total transactions stood at Bt56.52 billion with an index high of 1,257.46 and a low of 1,249.14.
In the morning session, an analyst at Krungsri Securities said he 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 rising price of oil.
“After news that President Donald Trump was discharged on Tuesday morning, investors began hoping that he will urge Republican senators to approve the US$2.2-trillion stimulus bill,” he said.
“Meanwhile, Thailand’s Centre for Economic Situation Administration aims 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 were still pressuring the index.
The top 10 stocks with the highest trade value on Tuesday were STGT, IVL, PTTEP, PTT, KBANK, SCC, PTTGC, AOT, TASCO and TOP.
As of 4.30pm, the price of oil rose by US$0.46 or 1.17 per cent to $39.68 per barrel, while gold dropped by $2.40 or 0.12 per cent, to $1,917.70 per ounce.
