Investment Ideas:
The overall investment today – AWS expects the SET this week (12-16 Oct.) to move in a range of 1,244-1,293 points, a sideway trend, despite positive factors from the Cabinet meeting (12 Oct) which expected to consider the renewal of tax measures for companies and stores which have the meeting and seminars for employees in other provinces that the expenses can be deducted twice as tax (originally the measure will end Dec 20) as proposed by the Ministry of Finance. 
However, there are several uncertainties that need to be monitored which are (1) Thai stock market closes (13 Oct) on the day of King Rama IX’s death (2) the domestic political factors With a political rally (14 Oct) calling for the prime minister to resign (3) the uncertainty about the second round of debate between the U.S. presidential counterpart (115 Oct) will happen or not because Trump does not want to Debate Online (may be postponed to 22 Oct) and (4) the conflict between the U.S. and China after the U.S. state prepares to consider banning Chinese financial applications (Alipay and WeChat Pay), citing US citizens’ privacy security reasons.
