Thailand’s SET Index closed at 1,417.29 points, increased 32.68 points or 2.36%, with a trading value of THB 106.58 billion. The analyst stated that the Thai market rebounded from the prospect of de-escalations in the Middle East, following reports about the negotiation between Iran and the U.S., as well as the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for oil tankers from countries except the U.S., Israel, and Europe, which eased the concerns over oil supply.
For tomorrow, the analyst expresses positive sentiment on the SET Index, expecting it to stabilize at above 1,400 points, although the upside may be limited. The analyst also recommends that investors closely monitor the conflicts.

The key factor was the decrease in fuel prices following the increase in subsidies from the Oil Fuel Fund, and the downward adjustment in electricity charges in accordance with government measures to reduce the cost of living.
