Mr. Sarawut Techochawalit, Senior Director of Securities Analysis Department, RHB Securities (Thailand), said that the Thai stock market today bounced back better at the end of the afternoon. In line with this, most regional markets have a positive direction. This is because the yield on the 10-year US government bond (Bond Yield) contracted due to the US gross domestic product (GDP) figure being better than expected. Most investors are worried that next week’s Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting may signal that interest rates will remain steady longer than expected. When the bond yield shrinks, it is a slightly positive signal for the stock market. Including the conflict situation in the Middle East. Israel has not yet launched a ground attack in Gaza. Therefore it has not yet spread.

“Stocks that are expected to benefit from a slowdown in bond yields, such as power plants, financials, and large stocks whose prices dropped significantly today have recovered and received buying back. Meanwhile, the retail sector has not recovered much. Because the digital currency policy is still unclear.”

As for the market outlook next week, the market situation will depend on the progress of the war in the Middle East. and Bond Yield If the bond yield swings in the range of 4.8-5%, it is expected that the SET will swing 1,370-1,400 points, but if it exceeds 5%, it is expected that the SET may go down to the support level of 1,350 points. And if it is lower than 4.8%, the SET has a chance to go up. Going to 1,430 points, recommending stocks in the power plant, financial and petrochemical groups.

“There are still no new factors in the country. Recommend following both US and domestic bond yields. But Thailand’s bond yields rarely fluctuate due to news of a reduction in the size of digital wallet distribution. make the swing lighter Therefore, we must follow the progress of the digital wallet project again next week,” Mr. Sarawut concluded.
