The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index closed at 1,420.87 on Tuesday, up 12.56 points or 0.89 per cent. Total transactions amounted to Bt78 billion with an index high of 1,430.03 and a low of 1,416.39.

In the morning session, an analyst at Krungsri Securities predicted the day’s index would fluctuate between 1,400 and 1,420 despite the rise in other Asian indices.

“We expect the SET to face high volatility as investors delay trading to follow the Opec+ meeting and the Constitutional Court ruling in a case against Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha, as well as uncertainty over the Covid-19 pandemic,” he said.

The 10 stocks with the highest trade value today were KBANK, PTT, ADVANC, GPSC, SCB, PTTEP, AOT, JR, SCGP and CPALL.

As of 4.30pm, the price of oil rose by US$0.25 or 0.55 per cent to $45.59 per barrel, while gold rose by $13.30 or 0.75 per cent, to $1,794.20 per ounce.
