  • Foreign investors were net buyers of $38.71mn in Thai stocks last Friday, while the SET index slipped after another failure to mount a meaningful challenge to its 100-DMA.
  • PM Prayuth chairs a weekly Cabinet meeting today.
  • Thailand's Customs trade data are expected to hit the wires in the coming days.
