Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.56%

But expect some support to the local bourse this morning.

According to SGX, the Straits Times Index (STI) ended 16.24 points or 0.56% lower to 2869.47, taking the year-to-date performance to -0.46%.

According to OCBC, as Wall Street recorded generally modest gains, this could provide some support to the local bourse this morning, but local sentiments may remain fairly cautious.

"The STI had failed to clear the key 2880 level convincingly in the previous session. We could see it head back up towards this level, while we continue to keep 2845 as our immediate support. Overall volume rose 8% with 1.9b units traded, and the total value jumped 25% to S$1.1b; while average value/unit was up 16% to S$0.58," OCBC adds.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
