Mr. Chaiyaporn Nompitakcharoen managing director Securities Trading Division, Bualuang Securities said that the Thai stock market index fell against other stock markets in Asia today, with the SET being pressured by selling pressure from electronic stocks. Only DELTA is down 2.40%.
At the same time, there is no new supporting factor to help support the index. Although starting to see the direction of foreign sales slowing down to some extent But there is still a lack of positive factors to help drive the index’s recovery clearly. And the market is still concerned about the high US interest rate for a long time.
Next week’s trend There is a chance to rebound some after coming down near the main support at 1,600 points and still standing above that support level. But still have to follow the announcement of US non-farm payrolls at the end of next week. Because it affects the interest rate direction of the Federal Reserve (Fed) and on Monday, the Thai stock market is closed on Makha Bucha Day. Therefore, the direction of foreign stock markets must be monitored as well. The resistance is estimated at 1,620 points and the support at 1,600 points.
