Thailand’s SET Index closed at 1,459.68 points, increased 21.59 points or 1.50%, with a trading value of THB 65.24 billion. The analyst stated that the Thai market sharply surged due to speculative action on big-cap stocks, particularly banking, as investors are pricing in the better-than-expected Thai economy and the confidence in the stable government, which bolstered fund inflows.
For tomorrow, the analyst expects the Thai market to move sideways-up.
Thailand’s Cabinet has approved the plan for a cooperation program between the Ministry of Energy and the International Energy Agency (IEA) for 2026–2027. This program aims to enhance Thailand’s energy capabilities over two years, covering key areas such as efficient energy use, expanding renewable energy, and achieving the Net Zero goal.
Ekniti Nitithanprapas, Thailand’s Minister of Finance, expressed optimism about Thailand’s economic prospects for 2026, believing that the country’s GDP could expand by more than 3% if sustained economic confidence is achieved. He highlighted plans to boost private sector investment by removing regulatory hurdles and launching facilitation mechanisms to accelerate both domestic and foreign direct investment (FDI).
