During March, the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index fluctuated in the range of 1617–1646 points, being impacted by the political situation and election news as in February.  Investment trends for the next three months show domestic factors as primarily affecting investor confidence.  The recent elections have tended to bolster investor confidence while the performance of listed companies and the US FED maintaining policy rates are secondary factors supporting confidence.  Concurrently, concern about post-election political stability of a new government is the biggest factor weighing down investor confidence.  Other investor worries which need to be monitored include US-China trade negotiations as well as the worldwide economic slowdown and its impact on Chinese and US economies.  Global economic factors which investors are also keeping an eye on include the slowdown in the EU’s interest rate hike; the Bank of Japan (BOJ) relaxing its monetary policy; proposing the postpone of the BREXIT agreement; and the price of oil that has risen from the cancellation of the OPEC meeting resulting in the reduction of OPEC crude oil production to continue to be in effect until at least the end of June.
