Part of the SET's efforts to double market capitalisation include plans to upgrade gold trading. The SET's daily trading value stands at around 50 billion baht and its market capitalisation is 15 trillion. "It is essential to increase the number of our trading products in line with the rising pace of market trading value to balance our price-earnings ratio. The SET plans to upgrade gold trading with new, shorter contracts, while allowing physical gold to be delivered to investors. "The new feature will offer more choices and serve demand for gold trading better than long-term contracts," she said.
