Mr. Kantara Ladawan na Ayutthaya, executive director of Finansia Syrus Securities (FSS), through “Kaohoon Jor Talad Program” on November 19, 2021, stated that the Thai stock market is in a sideway-up trend, seeing that the foreign investors have been net buying Thai shares this month, coupled with the anticipation of an improve Covid-19 situation and more tourist arrivals.
Mr. Ladawan expected the banking sector to lead the market higher in this uptrend, following the recovery in the Thai economy, while the prices have yet to reach the pre-Covid level. Mr. Ladawan, however, has warned of a correction in banking share prices, citing that the sector has been on the rise recently and that it could correct before continuing to increase.
