Markets Briefing: STI ends the week in the black

The Straits Times Index extended its gain until the end of the week's trading, closing at 2,839.89 up by 17.55 points or 0.62% for the week to December 4.

This came despite the lower than expected results of manufacturing sentiment for the month of November, which dropped to 50.4, down by 0.1 point, according to the Singapore Institute of Purchasing and Materials Management (SIPMM).

Top gainers were CityDev with 0.35 points or 4.56%, Jardine C&C with 0.64 points or 3.24%, and CapLand IntCom with 0.06 points or 3.13%.

Wall Street also closed in positive territory, with the Dow Jones up by 0.83%, and S&P 500 rising by 0.88%.

Gains were driven in part by investor hopes that a US coronavirus stimulus deal would be pushed through the Congress soon.

The London's FTSE 100 also ended in with growth from the week, ending trade on Friday at 6,550.23, up by 0.92%

FTSE 250 meanwhile, remained at the 20,000 level, ending up by 0.25% at 20,182.6.

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.
