rooster59 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 SET continues slide as Thailand edges toward political turmoil By The Nation The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index continued its week-long slide on Friday, closing at 1,244.94, down 2.52 points or 0.20 per cent. Total transactions amounted to Bt45.62 billion with an index high of 1,256.40 and a low of 1,241.66. In the morning session, an analyst at Krungsri Securities expected the day’s index to fluctuate between 1,240 and 1,255 despite a rise in other regional stock markets. Domestic unrest after Parliament delayed charter-change motions, coupled with continuing outflow of foreign funds, would pressure the index, he said.

The "do nothing" government can make positive changes, but it decided to keep the un-rest going by stalling talks, they like to debate forever and hope the students will go away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
