STI set for firm open

Japanese, Australian, and Korean markets have all opened higher on 16 October 2012.

OCBC Investment Research said:

Rebound on Wall Street and the more positive Nikkei start (now +0.9%) could also spark a similar recovery in the local bourse today. However, given the lackluster interest of late, the STI may find it hard to clear the 3100 hurdle in the near term.

As such, investors may continue to sell into strength should the index fail to make further headway; note that the STI recently triggered a parabolic sell signal. On the downside, we peg the initial support at 3030 (lower Bollinger band), ahead of 3000.

IG Markets Singapore meanwhile noted:

The futures market is pointing to a firm open for the STI this morning. Japanese, Australian and Korean markets have all opened higher this morning.

Investors looking for K-REIT’s share price today don’t panic when you can’t find it – it has changed its name to Keppel REIT.

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.
