Market Roundup 17 June 2026

Thailand’s SET Index closed at 1,587.07 points, decreased 0.98 points or 0.06%, with a trading value of THB 63.78 billion. The analyst stated that the Thai market moved sideways-down with volatility due to selling pressure in DELTA, following portfolio adjustment after the equity, along with the banking sector, breached the Cap-Weighted threshold.

Investors are monitoring the first Federal Reserve meeting under Kevin Warsh’s chairmanship. In addition, the tightening market valuation also contributed to today’s movement.

For tomorrow, the analyst expects the Thai market to move sideways, depending on the Fed meeting conclusion.

 

Japan saw a significant increase in export values during May 2026, marking the ninth consecutive month of growth. The rise was fueled by a weaker yen, elevated commodity prices, and heightened demand for semiconductors, which counteracted supply issues linked to the U.S.-Iran conflict.

 

The United Kingdom’s annual inflation stood unchanged at 2.8% in May. This figure was modestly under economists’ predictions, who had anticipated a rise to 3% amid concerns over higher energy costs tied to the Middle East conflict.
