Singapore Markets Morning Briefing - what you need to know for Mon Jan 16, 2012

A double whammy on Wall Street and the Nikkei will likely mean bad things for the local bourse.

OCBC Investment Research said the retreat on Wall Street last Friday night and the poor Nikkei start (-1.4%) are likely to dent local sentiments this morning.

It further noted:

The STI, which jumped nearly 1.8% higher in the last session, is now just a tad below the 2793 key resistance (Dec ’11 high).

As such, we could potentially see the index initiating a technical correction back towards the immediate support at around 2735 (minor resistance-turned-support and 100-DMA) in the days ahead.

However, we note that the medium-term outlook has improved significantly after convincingly overcoming the upper boundary of its 9-month downtrend channel.

Meanwhile, the subsequent support and resistance lies at 2683 (minor resistance-turned-support) and 2800 (psychological resistance) respectively.

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.
