Thai Stock Market Roundup March 6, 2020

– SET closed at 1,367.57 points, declined 26.26 points or 1.89% with a trading value of 52.2 billion baht. The analyst stated that the SET Index edged lower in the same direction as regional markets, European markets and Dow Jones Futures due to the high volatility in the market. The aid package to fight coronavirus and stimulus plans announced by the Economic Cabinet also did not have anything surprising. The SSF would help in the short-term, but expecting a huge inflow to the market was quite difficult.

Next week’s session also had signs of weakness due to no positive factors to support. The analyst expected a support level at 1,350 points and a resistance level at 1,380 points.
