STI set for strong open

Thanks to the continued recovery by the US and European markets.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The continued recovery by the US and European markets last Friday are likely to cue the local bourse to another strong opening this morning; the Japanese market is closed for holiday today.

As a recap, the STI ended last Friday sharply higher following the bullish break above the 3040 resistance; after opening some 1% higher, the index climbed further to a 1.3% gain by the close on rather heavy trading volume.

And with today's tone likely to remain buoyant, we could see the index heading further north towards the 3090 resistance for a test.

Beyond that, the subsequent obstacle is pegged at the 3160 support-turned-resistance. On the downside, 3040 is now the newly established resistance-turned-support, with the next base lying at the 3005 minor troughs.

IG Markets Singapore meanwhile noted:

In Singapore today the futures market points towards a slightly firmer open for the STI this morning, as we look towards this week trading to see if this upward momentum can be maintained.

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.
