Thailand’s SET Index closed at 1,499.06 points, decreasing by 3.05 points or 0.20%, with a trading value of THB 61.92 billion. The analyst stated that the Thai stock market fluctuated both negatively and positively, but ended lower due to pressure from DELTA’s weakness tracking global tech downtrend. In contrast, HANA and CPALL recorded solid gains from their unique catalysts.
Furthermore, as the end of 3Q26 earnings season draws near, investors have opted to reduce their position in big-cap stocks, adding to the pressure on the Thai market.
Meanwhile, the lack of Thai benchmark weighting upgrade in the recent MSCI Index review also led to a downward sentiment on the fund inflows.
For tomorrow, the analyst expects the Thai market to move sideways, while highlighting the global tech weakness and geopolitical conflicts as key negative factors.
Data shows that Thailand’s SET Index closed October 2026 at 1,518.59 points, down 2.6 percent from the previous month, in line with the broader decline across regional markets. Global equity markets experienced heightened volatility, particularly a sell-off in technology and AI-related stocks, amid concerns over valuations, returns, and regulatory uncertainty. Despite pressure from AI supply chain-related stocks, the SET Index declined less than many regional peers, while net foreign selling remained relatively limited.
The United Kingdom recorded a 0.7% increase in economic output during the third quarter, with services accounting for nearly all the expansion. The result matched the consensus among economists surveyed by Reuters, while output stood 1.9% above its level a year earlier.
