Wall Street reclaimed lost grounds, potentially providing the local bourse some boost today.

The Straits Times Index (STI) ended 11.6 points or 0.37% higher to 3137.88, taking the year-to-date performance to +8.93%.

According to OCBC, Wall Street reclaimed lost grounds for the 1st time in 3 days as financial and industrial shares rose last night. This could provide some boost to the local bourse today.

" We expect investors to remain cautious amid intensifying geopolitical jitters and keep the initial hurdle at 3200. Above it, we peg the next resistance at 3250; on the downside, we peg the immediate support at 3150, ahead of 3100. Overall volume declined 7.6% with 2.5b units traded, and total value dipped 7.0% to S$1.1b, with average value/unit hiked to 2.2% to S$0.46," said OCBC.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
