Market Roundup 22 June 2026

Thailand’s SET Index closed at 1,574.13 points, increased 1.63 points or 0.10%, with a trading value of THB 66.89 billion. The analyst stated that the Thai market moved sideways within range, with the banking sector as the key market driver. This was due to the interest rate uptrend, loan expansion from increased investment, as well as a tailwind from the electronics parts sector, which benefited from positive sentiment on South Korean chip exports.
