Thailand - Market factors to watch - Feb 8

Tue Feb 7, 2012 9:35pm EST

BANGKOK, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Thai stocks are expected to
rise on Wednesday as continued fund inflows help lift major
listed companies, but market players are expected to be cautious
as euro zone debt concerns remain.	
    On Tuesday, the benchmark SET index was up 0.65
percent at 1,101.12, with foreign investors buying shares for
2.3 billion baht ($74.35 million), stock exchange data showed.	
    Resistance for the main index was seen at 1,122, with
support at 1,100 and 1,098, brokers said.	
    "The market could still rise today. Fund flows will be a key
driver," said Globlex Securities senior analyst Chakkrit
Charoenmetachai.
