Mr. Thanomsak Saharatchai, Assistant Managing Director and Head of Research, Krungthai Securities, said that the Thai stock market today fluctuates in line with global stock markets. Because waiting for the results of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting in the afternoon, there is a strong sell-off because the market thinks the Fed will raise interest rates high. The yield on the two-year US bond (Bond Yield) jumped 3.94%, reflecting the market that the Fed may use strong drugs. causing stock markets around the world to decline And the Fed may raise interest rates in this round by 0.75% and may increase another 0.75% next time, which the market Price in and saw selling pressure The selling pressure has been gradually seen for 1-2 weeks, since the latest inflation rate of 8.3%, down 9.5% from the previous month, but inflation has slowed down. I fear that the Fed will use strong drugs. because the US economy is still stable Whether it’s employment numbers and still see the Fed signal a rate hike until March 66, resulting in lower returns on stocks Makes a trend around the world to reduce investment in stocks Or turn to choosing Defensive stocks instead, such as HealthCare stocks with recurring income.
The investment trend of tomorrow We have to wait to see what the Fed meeting is like tonight. If the Fed increases interest rates, stocks are expected to continue falling. But looking at the Thai stock market, it’s not much affected. But as the dollar rose as a result of the interest rate hike, the baht weakened. I’m worried that foreigners will sell out. It will make Thai stocks tend to fluctuate volatility. by assessing the key support at 1,617 points, which is a 200-day moving average, but if not believed to be able to stand But if it falls below this level, the market is likely to fall heavily.
