Thai market was region's best performer
The Stock Exchange of Thailand was the best performer in Southeast Asia in March, with the composite index gaining 5.7 per cent from the previous month and 9.3 per cent from the end of last year.
The index was at 1,407.70 points at the end of March.
It was driven mainly by foreign capital inflows. According to SET's data, foreign investors' net-buys of Thai shares in the month reached Bt26.5 billion.
A recent gain in oil prices boosted global markets yesterday, allowing the SET index to gain 12.95 points. At 4.33pm today, the index was at 1,371.93 points with Bt25.5 billion in turnover.
Tisco Securities said in a research note that trading would be lacklustre today, given the long holiday period ahead.
