The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index closed at 1,345.34 on Wednesday, up 4.10 points or 0.31 per cent. Total transactions amounted to Bt117.15 billion with an index high of 1,356.83 and a low of 1,331.39.

In the morning session, an analyst at Krungsri Securities expected the day’s index to rise to between 1,350 and 1,360 points over positive news of Covid-19 vaccine development, hopes for global trade recovery and the rising oil price.

“However, investors should beware of market volatility from signs of overbought stocks,” he said.

The 10 stocks with the highest trade value today were KBANK, AOT, PTT, STGT, CPALL, MINT, BBL, SCB, GPSC, and SCC.

As of 4.30pm, the price of oil rose by US$1.09 or 2.64 per cent to $42.45 per barrel, while gold dropped by $1.40 or 0.07 per cent, to $1,875 per ounce.
