SET hoping for an election-related boostListen to this articleThe Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) ended December little changed from the month before, but down 10% annually after another disappointing year. A decision by Opec+ not to increase oil production in the first quarter of 2026 lifted oil prices by almost 3% as concerns about a surplus eased. JANUARY OUTLOOKWe are quite positive about the election and believe overall sentiment on the SET in January should be positive. We believe oil prices will move sideways for most of the year with risk of added supply from Opec+ and Venezuela depressing oil prices. TASCO, on the other hand, will be a beneficiary from declining oil prices.
