Thai Stock Market Roundup on June 12, 2020

– SET Index closed at 1,382.56 points, declined 14.21 points or 1.02% with a trading value of 85.7 billion baht. The analyst stated that the Thai stock market plunged in the morning session in the same direction as the regional market and the overnight Wall Street. However, the index negated some negativity in the afternoon when the European opened higher by 1-2% and Dow Jones Futures rebounded.

The Thai stock market was also supported by the announcement of phase 4 easing that included lifting night curfew, paving ways for some businesses such as street foods and bars to do their business easier.

The analyst expected SET Index to move in both territories next week as its valuation was still relatively high when compared to other markets in the region, giving a support level for next week at 1,375-1,360 points and a resistance level at 1,400-1,410 points.
