The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index rose by 17.93 points, or 1.28 per cent, to 1,419.56 in the morning session on Wednesday.

An analyst at Krungsri Securities expected the day’s index to fluctuate between 1,390 and 1,415 points amid an expected smooth US presidential transition, progress of a Covid-19 vaccine and a rising oil price.

“However, mass sell-offs in stocks to reduce risks from pro-democracy protesters’ anti-government rally on Wednesday would pressure the index,” he said.

He recommended investors buy:

> PTTEP, PTTGC, Top, IVL and SPRC, which benefit from the rising oil price.

> Mint, Centel and AOT, which benefit from progress in the development of a Covid-19 vaccine.

> Amata, WHA, SAT, AH and RCL, which will benefit from the Asia-Pacific Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership pact.

The SET Index closed at 1,401.63 on Tuesday, down 18.80 points, or 1.32 per cent. The volume of total transactions was Bt102 billion, with an index high of 1,432.56 points and a low of 1,401.29.
