Going down, battling interest rate worries as inflation remains high

Market today
The SET is expected to drop, pressured by worries of continued interest rate hikes by the Fed, expected at possibly as much as 100 bps at the end-July meeting, as June US inflation shot up to a forty-year high. The SET has supports at 1,530 and 1,520, and its upside is limited between 1,560 and 1,570.
