Singapore trading sees lack of buying conviction

Volume was relatively light, says OCBC, with gainers just edging out losers 248 to 225.

OCBC Investment Research said:

Muted showing on Wall Street and an equally uninspiring Nikkei start (now flat) are unlikely to provide much of a lift to the local bourse today.

Although the STI gained 0.3% on Friday, volume was relatively light, with gainers just edging out losers 248 to 225, suggesting a lack of buying conviction.

As such, we could see the index trading within a tight range in the near term, stuck between 3030 (lower Bollinger band) and 3066 (centre of Bollinger band); although we do not rule out a steady slide towards 3000.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
