Philip Securities forecasts the Thai stock market to trade sideways within 1,585–1,600 points today, pressured by soft oil prices (WTI near $80/barrel) and awaiting the Bank of Thailand's monetary policy decision and July US PCE inflation data. Investment themes highlight four strategies: growth stocks (H2 2026), bank/finance plays from steady rates (KKP, KTB, SCB, BBL), Thailand Focus arbitrage names (AOT, CENTEL, PTT, SCC), and dividend accumulation picks. Market focus hinges on BOT's economic outlook statement for H2 2026—a negative tone could trigger retail and industrial estate weakness.
