The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index rose 0.95 points or 0.07 per cent to close at 1,373.22 today (July 7), with transactions totalling at Bt81.868 billion with an index high of 1,391.77 and a low of 1,373.20.
During the morning session, a stock analyst at Krungsri Securities said he expected the index to rise 1,385 and 1,400 points on the back of hopes that economic recovery will take a V-shape now that many countries are easing their lockdown measures.
“The market gained positive sentiment after learning that the US services index rose to 57.1 in June, while retail sales in the Euro zone rose 17.8 month-on-month in May and the China purchasing managers’ index rose to 58.4 in June,” the analyst said.
“However, we advise investors to beware of market volatility as Covid-19 cases continue rising in the US, causing some states to put off moves to ease lockdown measures,” he added.
The top 10 stocks with the highest trade value today were STGT, PTT, EA, STA, SUPER, GPSC, CPALL, AOT, GULF and BAM.
