Market Roundup 4 September 2026

Thailand’s SET Index closed at 1,595.58 points, increasing by 18.66 points or 1.18%, with a trading value of THB 63.42 billion. The analyst stated that the Thai stock market extended gains along with international markets’ trend, after a Federal Reserve official signaled that the central bank is likely to maintain the policy rate should inflation stabilize. This has plunged bond yields and bolstered buying interest in big-caps, led by DELTA.

For next week, the analyst expects the Thai market to move sideways within range, recommending investors closely monitor U.S. nonfarm payrolls, slated to come out tonight, as well as Thailand’s 2027 budget consideration.
