Market Roundup 17 July 2026

Thailand’s SET Index closed at 1,639.04 points, increased 3.75 points or 0.23%, with a trading value of THB 91.80 billion. The analyst stated that the Thai market moved sideways and outperformed its regional peers.

Despite the electronics sector facing selling pressures from the global tech downtrend, the buying forces in the power plant sector—led by GULF—as well as the energy stocks that benefited from rising oil prices, the defensive stocks, and the value stocks helped stabilize the market.

For next week, the analyst expects the Thai market to slow down gains, as the banking sector is scheduled to report 2Q26 earnings in early week, while the Middle East situation still needs to be closely watched.

 

Thailand Ministry of Commerce disclosed that in June 2026, a total of 7,979 new businesses were registered in the kingdom. This represents an increase of 864 businesses or 12.14% compared to May, which saw 7,115 new registrations.

The newly registered capital for June 2026 amounted to THB 15.23 billion, an increase of THB 602 million, or 4.12%, from the previous month.
