Mr Surapon Weeramithikul, Assistant General Manager, Investment Strategy Team Leader, Kasikorn Securities said that the Thai stock market continued its decline today due to strong foreign sales. In particular, large-cap stocks in the SET50 were under pressure due to the issue of important political issues that were postponed in July.

While various international factors have generally begun to improve, US government bond yields (bond yields) have slowed following reports of weak US economic numbers. This makes investors expect that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates twice this year and that the Chinese economy is likely to recover. But the Thai stock market did not respond. Because it is still under pressure from internal factors. Especially political issues

The trend is expected to fluctuate tomorrow, waiting for the various factors to become clear, and it is expected after the rulings are issued in the two political cases, whether the issue of dissolving the Progressive Party or the issue of examining the qualifications of the Prime Minister. The index is likely to recover. In the short term, it is expected to fluctuate within the support range of 1280 points and the resistance level of 1330 points. Mr. Sorabon concluded.
