Play
The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index added 3.5 per cent month-on-month to 1,673.16 points at the end of September, marking the region's second biggest gainer. Thailand Futures Exchange (TFEX) average derivatives trading volume was 504,362 contracts per day, surging 88.5 percent from the previous month.
SET Senior Executive Vice President Pakorn Peetathawatchai said the SET Index's rise in September was in line with other emerging markets' stock movement. Exceptionally, the Thai benchmark index ended September at a 24-year high, while the average derivatives trading volume soared significantly - mainly bolstered by transactions of SET50 Index Futures and Single Stock Futures - reflecting investment confidence which was in line with the improved investor confidence index.
