Thailand’s SET Index closed at 1,517.95 points, decreased 21.17 points or 1.38%, with a trading value of THB 67.86 billion. The analyst stated that the Thai market retreated along with the foreign markets’ trend after the U.S.-China summit concluded without any surprise agendas, leading to investors engaging in profit-taking actions on stocks that had previously risen.
Furthermore, the earnings season has concluded for the Thai bourse, which is followed by the lack of new supporting catalysts.
For next week, the Thai market could exhibit gains should it remain above the key supporting level of 1,500 points. The analyst recommends investors closely monitor Thailand’s 1Q26 GDP and the ‘Thai Chauy Thai Plus’ scheme, as well as the progress on the U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement.
