Thailand - Market factors to watch - April 30 Apr 30th 2012, 02:27 Tweet Share this Email Print Sun Apr 29, 2012 10:27pm EDT BANGKOK, April 30 (Reuters) - Thai stocks are expected to track gains in regional markets on Monday, with good buying interest in energy-related shares because of high global oil prices, brokers said. Asian shares inched higher on Monday as weaker-than-expected U.S. growth data left open the possibility of more monetary stimulus from the Federal Reserve. On Friday, the SET index edged up 0.21 percent to 1,211.78, with foreign investors net buyers of 924 million baht ($30 million) of shares, while domestic institutions were net sellers of 862 million baht ($28 million), the bourse said. Steady buying from long-term investors, looking to build positions on expectations of good earnings this year, would help push the market higher, brokers said. "The market may extend its gain to 1,214 today but the index should be technically capped around 1,220. Besides the positive technicals, external sentiment is supportive" said Capital Nomura Securities strategist Chai Chiraseenupraphund. Click for cumulative trading value by investor type.
