The price of WTI crude oil recovered by 3.3 per cent, after Opec+ signalled that oil production would not be increased in January 2021.Besides, gold price recovered to $1,895 per ounce.

The senior director mentioned that the US election was the most interesting point for investors at this time. The dollar index rose by 0.2 per cent, and the US Ten-Year Treasury decreased by three basis points to 0.84 per cent.

In Thailand, the baht tended to move in a narrow range, due to investors’ caution before the US election, which could spread financial fluctuation in the market.
