Market Update: STI extends gains to fourth day

The Straits Times Index notched gains for the fourth straight day, closing at 2,906.97 up by 43.96 points or 1.54%.

Its Asian peers also ended Thursday trade with modest gains amid the commotion in the US Capitol as pro- Donald Trump protesters sought to overturn election results in dramatic fashion.

Among the top gainers were Singtel with 4.35% or S$0.10 gain, DBS up by 3.46% or a S$0.87 increase, and OCBC Bank which went higher by S$0.23 or 2.28%.

On to Wall Street, most US stocks shrugged off the protesters to end the day's trading in the green.

S&P 500 climbed by 55.65 points or 1.48% to 3,803.79 while the Dow Jones Industrial ended higher by 0.69% or 211.73 points at 31,041.13. The NASDAQ also stepped up by 2.56% or 326.69 points to 13,067.48.

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.
