Thai stocks seen higher, PTT in focus ahead of Q3

BANGKOK, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Thai stocks are set to extend
recemt gains on Tuesday, helped by the trend on foreign markets
after comments by the Group of 20 countries, which pledged to
continue support for the global economy, analysts said.

PTT PCL PTT.BK will be in focus ahead of its quarterly
results, due after the market closes. Thailand's top oil and
gas firm is likely to report a slight fall in net profit due to
lower contributions from its exploration and refinery
businesses.

"There should be a further rise in our market after rallies
on overseas markets, and a revival in U.S. tech shares after
their earnings will also support the mood, broadly," said Chai
Jirasevenupraphund, a strategist with Capital Nomura
Securities.

Most major Asian market gained more than 1 percent in early
trade after the Group of 20 finance ministers pledged to keep
economic stimulus programmes in place until a recovery was
assured. [ID:nLQ516726]

Resistance on the Thai main index .SETI is expected at
725 and support at 705, analysts said.

On Monday, the benchmark SET .SETI index closed up 2.13
percent at a near-two-week high of 713.48, boosted by a rise in
PTT after world oil prices rose.
