Thai Stock Market Roundup on May 12, 2021
A short summary to inform investors of significant developments in the Thai stock market on May 12, 2021.
– SET Index closed at 1,571.85 points, decreased 7.08 points or 0.45% with a trading value of 117 billion baht. The analyst stated that the Thai stock market opened on a negative territory in the morning session due to concerns over the inflation rate in the U.S. that is expected to rise from 2.6% in the previous month to 3.6%, which could impact its QE.
In the meantime, big-cap stocks such as TIDLOR and KBANK continued to decline. KBANK had a negative sentiment from the MSCI rebalancing that deleted Kasikornbank FGN, a security listed in Frankfurt, from the MSCI Global Standard, resulting in a selloff in KBANK.
However, the distortion in DELTA erased around 10 points deficit in the stock market today after gaining Bt94.00 per share or 20.26% in today’s session.
