SET rebounds to pass 1,500 pts

The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index closed at 1,500.92 on Monday, up 4.14 points or 0.28 per cent. The volume of total transactions was Bt84.56 billion with an index high of 1,505.61 and a low of 1,487.99.

In the morning session, a Krungsri Securities analyst expected the SET to fall to between 1,455 and 1,475 points due to uncertainty over rising US Treasury bond yields and the falling oil price, together with the outflow of foreign funds due to the weakening baht.

However, the index would rebound after the approval of US economic relief worth US$1.9 trillion, he said.

The 10 stocks with the highest trade value today were STA, OR, STGT, KBANK, CPALL, PTT, SAWAD, AOT, ICHI and PTTEP.
