Thailand’s SET Index closed at 1,517.74 points, decreased 0.21 points or 0.01%, with a trading value of THB 56.22 billion. The analyst stated that the Thai market traded sideways within a narrow range, but outperformed the global markets due to the better-than-expected 1Q26 GDP growth. This bolstered the buying forces in the banking sector, while the energy sector saw gains from the rising oil prices.
For tomorrow, the analyst expects the Thai market to move sideways-down.
