The market's record daily value without any help from big-lot transactions is a shade higher at Bt63.116 billion, registered in September 2010 when the court unlocked suspended industrial projects at Map Ta Phut in Rayong.
The highest-ever daily transaction value is Bt75 billion, but that included the big-lot transaction when the Shinawatra family sold its stake in Shin Corp for Bt73 billion back in 2006.
Yesterday's huge turnover pushed the Stock Exchange of Thailand Index up by 48.80 points, a 4.69-per-cent rise, to 1,090.28 points.
The landslide poll victory by the opposition Pheu Thai Party convinced investors that Thailand would soon welcome in a new government, while some returned to the market after gains in overseas markets last week due to Greece's success in tapping a new loan facility from the International Monetary Fund.
"The Thai market performed extraordinarily yesterday, reflecting the strong confi?dence of foreign investors. The election on Sunday was com?pleted peacefully, and the majority win will pave the way for quick government formation," said Patteera Dilokrungthirapop, CEO of DBS Vickers Securities (Thailand) and president of the Association of Securities Companies.
HSBC Thailand chief mar?kets strategist Parson Singha said the election result had been better than expected for investors, driving the SET Index up and strengthening the baht.
The baht gained 0.34 per cent to 30.46 against the US dollar as of 5.30pm yesterday, because of the capital inflow into the stock market as well as the dollar weakening against the euro. "Investor confidence is on the rise as no violence is expected [following the election]," Parson said.
Investors turned their atten?tion to stocks linked directly or indirectly to the Shinawatra family, as Yingluck Shinawatra, the sister of ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, is tipped to become the next prime minister.
