Mr. Natapon Khamthakrue, Assistant Managing Director of Securities Analysis at Yuanta Securities (Thailand), stated that the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index this morning moved relatively flat, rising slightly by 0.05 points to 1,261.23 points, in line with regional markets, as overall investment sentiment was subdued due to the closure of the U.S. stock market tonight (November 27) for Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, Asian technology stocks continued to recover, following gains in the U.S. market.
The absence of technology stocks in the Thai market resulted in the index drifting sideways. This morning, the energy sector led the market, supported by rising oil prices, while the hospital sector also rebounded.
Additionally, the domestic play group, such as finance stocks, saw buying interest return as flood levels in Hat Yai receded. Nevertheless, trading volume remains thin. For the afternoon, the market is expected to continue moving sideways, with a support level at 1,255 points and resistance at 1,265 points.
