STI to edge up slightly

As companies begin the reporting season, US equities were bolstered by 4Q earnings optimism.

On 10 January 2012, OCBC Investment Research said:

The STI, which fell 0.9% yesterday on profit-taking following the 3.3% rebound in the previous week, should edge up slightly this morning.

But near-term gains are still likely to be capped around 2733 (50-day moving average, also close to 100-DMA at 2737), given that the daily RSI has turned a tad more bearish.

As before, the STI needs to show that it can sustain itself above 2700 before confidence can return.

On the downside, we peg the initial support at 2670 (downtrend line resistance-turned-support), ahead of 2617 (lower Bollinger band).

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.
