HOPE FOR MORE RATE CUTS BUOY ASIAN SHARES
Bangkok Post
|September 20, 2025
Asian shares were headed for weekly gains yesterday on hopes of further interest rate cuts around the world, though the Nikkei retreated from record highs after the Bank of Japan said it would start to offload some of its massive equity fund holdings.
The Thai index slipped below 1,300 points on Friday, as investors await the official policy statement from the new cabinet following royal endorsement. Foreign outflows intensified in response to comments from the finance minister-designate about a possible measure to stem recent baht strength.
The SET index moved in a range of 1,287.94 and 1,312.74 points this week, before closing yesterday at 1,292.72, down 0.1% from the previous week, with daily turnover averaging 45.96 billion baht.
Retail investors were net buyers of 2.26 billion baht, followed by institutional investors at 1.2 billion. Foreign investors were net sellers of 1.86 billion, followed by brokerage firms at 1.59 billion.
