SET up amid mass buy-ups of large-cap shares
The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index rose by 12.24 points, or 0.84 per cent, to 1,474.19 in the morning session on Wednesday.
The SET gained positive sentiment from mass buy-ups of large-cap shares. However, the index is expected to come under pressure amid uncertainty over the quick rollout of US economic stimulus measures and Thailand’s rising Covid-19 cases.
Meanwhile, investors have been advised to beware of mass sell-offs of shares to reduce risks during the New Year holiday.
The top 10 stocks with the highest trade value in the morning session were Delta, GPSC, AEONTS, PTT, STGT, KEX, True, Banpu, EA and IVL.
The SET Index closed at 1,461.95 on Tuesday, up 9.28 points, or 0.64 per cent. Total transactions amounted to Bt77.71 billion, with an index high of 1,468.60 points and a low of 1,440.59.
