Market Analysis
According to Therdsak Thaweethiratham, Deputy Managing Director of the Research Division at Asia Plus Securities, the Thai stock market rebounded today after a significant retreat. This was supported by stock buybacks in the banking, communications, and DELTA sectors, as well as the market’s perception that US CPI inflation numbers for August were lower than expected.
This has led to increased confidence that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates by 0.25% at this month’s meeting, supporting the sentiment of other stock markets in Asia, which have collectively increased.
The Thai stock market is also receiving support from foreign currency that continues to flow in.
Market Outlook
Tomorrow’s trend is expected to be sideways, within the range on the last business day of the week. The market will be waiting for important factors next week, such as the first Cabinet meeting and the Fed meeting.
The resistance level is 1,430 points, and the support level is 1,415 points.
