The Stock Exchange of Thailand’s (SET) main stock index (SET Index) closed at over 1,300 points today, a new high in the past 16 years and four months, following gains of other stock markets due to relief over Spain’s economic problems and a strong pick-up in U.S. manufacturing, said SET President Charamporn Jotikasthira.
The SET Index closed up 5.95 points, or 0.46 percent, at 1,305.66 points, while other stock markets in Asia were up slightly. The index has risen 27.3 percent since the start of this year, making it the top index performer among Asia's main stock markets.
