The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index closed at 1,341.24 on Tuesday, up 55.36 points or 4.31 per cent. The volume of total transactions was Bt166.67 billion with an index high of 1,346.72 and a low of 1,313.04.
In the morning session, a Krungsri Securities analyst said he expected the day’s index to rise to between 1,300 and 1,310 thanks to progress being made in the development of a Covid-19 vaccine, hopes of a global trade recovery under the Joe Biden US presidency and rising price of oil.
However, he warned investors to beware of market volatility from listed companies’ third-quarter business results and short-term mass sell-offs of stocks.
“We expect positive sentiment from progress in the development of a Covid-19 vaccine will help boost recovery in economic activities, demand for fuel and mass buy-ups in large-cap stocks,” he predicted.
The top 10 stocks with the highest trade value today were AOT, KBANK, MINT, PTT, STGT, SCB, BBL, CPALL, PTTEP and BDMS.
As of 4.30pm, the price of oil rose by US$0.61 or 1.51 per cent to $40.90 per barrel, while gold rose by $28.40 or 1.53 per cent, to $1,882.80 per ounce.
