Expert Analysis

Mr. Wathan Jitsomnuk, Director of ⁢Strategic Analysis at ⁤Phai Securities, stated that the Thai ⁢stock market fluctuated within a narrow range, similar‌ to other Asian markets, as investors await ‌the results of the Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting.

The market is expected to adjust downward ‌tomorrow, with selling pressure anticipated after the Fed’s announcement. A 0.50% ⁤interest rate cut may not have ⁢a positive impact, as it could indicate⁣ a significant slowdown in the US economy. On the other hand, ‌a 0.25% cut may lead to selling pressure ⁣to take short-term⁣ profits, confirming that the⁢ US economy is not‌ slowing down significantly.

Support ‌and Resistance Levels

The support level is 1,420 points, and the resistance ‍level‍ is⁢ 1,445 points.
