STI down 0.4%

Positive impact of Wall Street gains is forecast to be minimal.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The modest gains on Wall Street overnight are likely to provide a mild boost to local sentiments this morning.

However, the positive impact could be minimal as the STI is already showing signs of rounding a minor top at the moment with a 0.4% lower close yesterday.

The index could continue to consolidate around current levels today with the immediate obstacle still marked at the 3280 key peak and the subsequent obstacle pegged at the 3300 psychological resistance.

On the downside, 3230 is still the firm resistance-turned-support, ahead of the 3200 psychological support.

IG Markets Singapore meanwhile noted:

In Singapore, the STI dipped 0.4% yesterday but sits comfortably above 3200 points. Politics seems to have taken top spot over economics right now as traders assess the recent Punggol East by-election result and the Government’s ambitious yet controversial plans to grow the population.

On the futures market, we are looking likely to open relatively flat on the STI this morning.

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.
