Tightening monetary policy and COVID outbreak after long holiday

Market outlook & strategy
The SET is expected to fall ahead of the long holiday to reduce risk related to the FOMC’s tightening of monetary policy by raising rates after US 10-yr bond yield rose to a three-year high as well as a resurgence in COVID-19 cases after Songkran. We assign supports at 1,670 and 1,660, and a resistance range of 1,688-1,698. We suggest a “Selective Buy” strategy of selecting good-quality defensive stocks with positive drivers to reduce portfolio volatility.
