Singapore Markets Morning Briefing - what you need to know for Tue Jan 17, 2012

Positive start in Japan trading could bring good news to Singapore.

OCBC Investment Research said:

With Wall Street closed for public holiday overnight, the positive Nikkei start (+0.5%) could provide a positive influence on the local bourse this morning.

As a recap, the STI slipped to a 1.3% loss yesterday following a 0.7% lower opening; this likely a technical correction as the index has rallied very strongly in the past week.

For now, 2735 (minor resistance-turned-support and 100-DMA) remains a fairly strong immediate support for the index in the event of further decline in the days ahead.

Below that, we still see the subsequent support at 2683 (minor resistance-turned-support). On the upside, the immediate obstacle is still at the 2793 key resistance (Dec ’11 high), with the next resistance lying just nearby at 2800 (psychological resistance).

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.
