Thai share prices are likely to trade narrowly next week as investors stay on the sidelines ahead of the kingdom's first elections since last year's coup, dealers said on Friday.
"It's going to be a quiet week as investors are likely to take a wait-and-see stance ahead of the elections" on December 23, said Chai Chirasevenupraphand, a market analyst at Capital Nomura Securities.
The stock exchange suspended trading in PTT on Friday as requested by the firm whose market capitalisation is worth 1.01 trillion baht (30 billion dollars) or about 15 percent of Thailand's total market capitalisation of 6.4 trillion baht.
For the week to December 14, the Stock Exchange of Thailand composite index fell 4.99 points, or 0.59 percent, to close at 836.40. Chai said the Thai market would trade around the 820-840 point level next week.
