The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index closed at 1,461.95 on Tuesday, up 9.28 points or 0.64 per cent. Total transactions amounted to Bt77.71 billion with an index high of 1,468.60 and a low of 1,440.59.

In the morning session, an analyst at Krungsri Securities expected the day’s index to fluctuate between 1,440 and 1,470 amid year-end mass buy-ups of Super Savings Funds and Retirement Mutual Funds, as well as news that US President Donald Trump had signed a $900-billion stimulus package.

“However, the slowdown of foreign fund flows and uncertainty over the surge in domestic Covid-19 cases will pressure the index,” he said.

The 10 stocks with the highest trade value today were DELTA, GPSC, KEX, EA, IVL, AEONTS, CBG, PTT, KBANK and BANPU.

As of 4.30pm, the price of oil rose by US$0.50 or 1.05 per cent to $48.12 per barrel, while gold rose by $3.10 or 0.16 per cent, to $1,883.50 per ounce.
