The analyst stated that the Thai stock market moved in sideways trends, waiting for the tapering signal from the Fed’s second-day meeting. If the Fed takes it slow, the stock market could bounce back. However, if the Fed tapers more than the market expectations, it could send a negative sentiment to the stock market.
The China Evergrande default relaxed, but lower performance of Thai corporates in 3Q could weigh the market down.
