Regional Equity Strategy 4Q 2009 Country Assessment Thailand Liquidity driven rally There could be a consolidation in <strong>the</strong> near term following <strong>the</strong> SET Index’s 85% surge from its trough and 58% rise YTD (up to 17 Sep). But <strong>the</strong> magnitude should be limited due to an improving economic outlook and ample liquidity. We tracked <strong>the</strong> market back to 1982, and found that SET rallies post-economic crisis always ended close to <strong>the</strong> first interest rate hike of each cycle, implying possible fur<strong>the</strong>r market appreciation until 2Q10. For 4Q09, we recommend increasing exposure in Banks, Property, upstream Energy and Construction Materials. We believe <strong>the</strong> macro conditions are quite favorable for <strong>the</strong> Thai equity market. While <strong>the</strong> economy has bottomed out, benign inflationary pressure should keep interest rates low for ano<strong>the</strong>r two to three quarters at least. We recommend investors increase exposure in Banks. Our top picks are KASIKORNBANK (KBANK TB) and Bangkok Bank (BBL TB). We maintain our Overweight positions on Property, where our top picks include Preuksa Real Estate (PS TB), Quality Houses (QH TB), Supalai (SPALI TB) and Asian Property (AP TB). We also remain Overweight on upstream Energy stocks, with PTT Exploration & Production (PTTEP) and PTT (PTT) as our top picks. We upgrade Construction Material to Overweight with Siam Cement (SCC TB) and Tata Steel Thailand (TSTH TB) as our top picks for <strong>the</strong> sector.
