Down on selling before a long holiday and economic worries

Market today
The SET is expected to decline today on profit-taking to reduce risk ahead of a long holiday during which the FOMC meets and Q2 US GDP is reported. Plus, there are also negative economic signs after Walmart lowered its operating target and the IMF reduced its world GDP growth forecast. The SET has support between 1,535–1,545 and upside is limited at resistance between 1,560 - 1,565.
