The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index closed at 1,477.21 on Tuesday, up 1.08 points or 0.07 per cent. The volume of total transactions was Bt91.74 billion with an index high of 1,478.61 and a low of 1,459.97.

In the morning session, an analyst at Krungsri Securities said he expected the day’s index to fall to between 1,465 and 1,470 owing to the lack of elements to stimulate investment.

“Besides, the SET will be pressured by the slowdown in foreign funds, uncertainty over the Bank of Thailand’s measures to curb the baht’s appreciation and the index’s tight valuation,” he said

The top 10 stocks with the highest trade value today were KBANK, CPALL, BAM, ADVANC, PTT, IRPC, PTTGC, AOT, IVL and SCC.

As of 4.30pm, the price of oil dropped by US$0.07 or 0.15 per cent to $46.92 per barrel, while gold rose by $16.50 or 0.90 per cent, to $1,848.60 per ounce.
