Mr. Chaiyaporn Nompitakcharoen, Managing Director of Sales & Trading Business at Bualuang Securities, stated that the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index closed higher this morning by 0.38%, or 4.84 points, at 1,280.44 points due to buying in large-cap stocks, particularly on the back of short-covering in shares that had seen sharp declines in the past week such as CPALL, BDMS, and BH.
Meanwhile, there was also a boost to sentiment after China reported its 4Q25 GDP in line with market expectations, serving as a positive factor supporting China-related stocks to move higher as well, and bolstering the overall index in the morning session, despite ongoing concerns regarding geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Europe.
The SET Index is expected to fluctuate within a range in the afternoon session, with a resistance level at 1,285 points and a support level at 1,270 points.
