Mr. Kitpon Praipaisarnkit, Senior Executive Vice President at UOB Kay Hian Securities (Thailand), stated that the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index closed the morning session higher by 1.82%, or 24.07 points, at 1,345.49 points, with a recovery in line with other regional markets following easing international factors, after previously facing selling pressure stemming from concerns over the forthcoming Chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), as well as mostly positive earnings reports from U.S.-listed companies.
The Thai market saw buying return to four main sectors: the tourism sector, which is benefiting from the approaching Chinese New Year festival; the power plant sector, driven by prospects of solid 4Q25 performance and high dividend payouts; the finance and electronics parts sectors, which rebounded after significant price drops. The market has now become more cautious towards stocks with significant price increases.
For the afternoon outlook, the market is expected to continue fluctuating in the positive territory. However, the SET Index is testing the previous high at 1,345 points, where there may be some profit-taking. Support is seen at 1,338 points, with resistance at 1,360 points.
