Bangkok: The SET Index experienced a growth of 2.8% in October 2015, closing at 1,309.50 points, thereby marking the second consecutive month of gains. This increase was driven by expectations surrounding government spending, tourism stimulus measures, and better-than-expected performance in banking profits, exports, and tourism.

According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Soraphol Tulayasathien, Deputy Managing Director and Head of Corporate Strategy at the Stock Exchange of Thailand, highlighted the positive factors influencing the Thai stock market in October 2025. The market was buoyed by anticipated government spending, tourism incentives, strong banking sector results, and a revision in profit estimates for listed companies. Additionally, easing trade tensions between the United States and China, alongside a 0.25% interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve, contributed to the market’s positive performance.

The government measures aimed at directly benefiting citizens have provided short-term economic stimulus, distributing income across the nation. Meanwhile, the export and tourism sectors exceeded analysts’ expectations, leading to revised profit estimates for Thai listed companies in various sectors. Historical data also indicates a trend of net selling in Long-Term Equity Funds towards the year’s end, while there has been a noticeable increase in investments in the Thai Sustainable Equity Fund, driven by the potential for tax benefits.
