SET Market Report For April 2022

Date 06/05/2022

In April 2022, the Thai capital market was engulfed by a string of factors, such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF)’s downward revision in global  economic growth forecast for 2022 and the rally in commodity prices especially energy and food expected to remain high until 2023 propelled by the Russia-Ukraine war. Moreover, strict lockdown in China in compliance with its zero-COVID has raised concerns about the Chinese economic slowdown, as such exacerbated the problems of global supply chain. Central banks in many countries faced with dilemma to tighten monetary policy to curb inflation, and keep the paces of their post-COVID economic recovery. Analysts expected that the Federal Reserve (Fed) would raise interest rate at a faster pace than expected and resulted in real yield rise in opposite directions of US stock indices.
