0817 GMT – Thailand’s finance-sector earnings are expected to have strengthened in 2Q, UOB Kay Hian analysts say in a note. Finance companies likely faced only a mild impact from tensions in the Middle East, while government cash handouts should help lift domestic spending. These companies also probably eased strict lending policies, leading to a loan expansion during the quarter. The brokerage expects the sector to post net profit of 6.65 billion baht, up 9% on year. It also maintains the sector’s overweight rating, naming Muangthai Capital and Krungthai Card as its top picks. (amanda.lee@wsj.com)
