Sawasdee – May 18, 2022

Limited recovery with risks still present

Market today
The SET rebound yesterday was a technical rebound and was expected, supported by China’s easing in its lockdown. However, major pressures still remain: hikes in interest rates to slow inflation and slowing economies, limiting the SET to resistances of 1,625 and 1,637; a short-term support range is 1,590-1,600. The signal would be negative if the SET falls below that.
