Thailand’s SET Index closed at 1,614.64 points, increased 4.86 points or 0.30%, with a trading value of THB 84.13 billion. The analyst stated that the Thai bourse traded sideways in the positive territory after Bloomberg Consensus raised market EPS for 2026 to THB 102, citing robust 2Q26 listed companies’ performance, and the prospects of the Strait of Hormuz reopening.
However, selling pressure from DELTA following the overseas tech downtrend still weighed on the index.
For tomorrow, the analyst expects the Thai market to move sideways with volatility.

The Thai Cabinet has given the green light to a new regulation establishing the Data Center Policy Committee, a move designed to steer the country’s booming data center industry while safeguarding national resources and security.
China has implemented its most extensive array of trade restrictions since last year’s suspension of hostilities, responding to a series of U.S. regulatory actions just weeks before President Xi Jinping is due for bilateral talks in Washington. The new sanctions targeted American businesses and tighter controls on drone-related exports.
