Market Outlook
Mr. Weerawat Wirojphoka, Senior Director of the Securities Analysis Department of Investment Advisory Securities Company (BPO) FSS International Company Limited, said that the Thai stock market today followed the direction of other stock markets in Asia before falling in the afternoon due to selling on fact after the market received news about some important factors.
Next week’s trend is expected to vary within the range, while still waiting for new factors and following the US economic numbers to predict signs of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve (Fed). The resistance level is 1,460-1,465 points, and the support level is 1,440-1,445 points.
