Today, the Thai stock market witnessed slight fluctuations throughout the day, said Mr. Sarawut Techukawalit, Senior Director of Securities Analysis Department at RHB Securities (Thailand). There are no new factors affecting the index. Meanwhile, stock markets in Hong Kong and China fell after the Hong Kong High Court ordered the establishment of a Chinese company. Evergrande closes business and sells assets

In addition, the Thai stock market does not have a large trading volume. This is because investors are still waiting to follow factors from the US side, such as private sector employment numbers, the results of the Fed meeting, and the Fed Chairman’s comments about the trend of lowering interest rates. The market believes that the chance of lowering interest rates in this round is decreasing. There will likely be a first rate cut in May or June.

At the same time, oil prices fell slightly. Because the conflict situation in the Middle East has not become more dangerous.

TOMORROW'S TRENDS Investors are awaiting the release of US job opening numbers tonight. If they don't rise sharply, the market probably won't go anywhere far. They still have to follow the Constitutional Court's ruling in the Kayo Clay Party policy case in the campaign to amend Measure 112, whether “This is tantamount to undermining the government or not. This may push the index to swing strongly to provide resistance at 1,382 points and support at 1,370 points.” Mr. Sarawat concluded.
