Expert Analysis
Mr. Weerawat Wirojphoka, Senior Director of the Securities Analysis Department of Investment Advisory Securities Company (BPO) FSS International Company Limited, stated that the Thai stock market followed the direction of other Asian markets in the morning but fell in the afternoon due to selling pressure after the market received news about important factors.
