Daily Markets Briefing: Expect muted trading ahead of Budget 2015

The STI could eke out small gains.

According to OCBC, the optimism displayed on Wall Street last Friday night and the strong Nikkei start (up 0.9% now) is likely to provide some inspiration to the local market this morning.

Here's more from OCBC:

However, any gains by the STI could be limited as local investors could bid their time in entering the market today, in anticipation of the Singapore Budget 2015 announcement later in the afternoon.

For now, we still see the immediate resistance at the 3460 key peak, with the next hurdle at the 3500 psychological resistance.

On the downside, the immediate base is still pegged at the 3377-3388 gap zone support, followed by the next support at the 3300 psychological level.

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.
