Daily Markets Briefing: SGX down 2.59%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, renewed weakness on Wall Street overnight could continue to weigh on sentiment.

Although the STI is already looking very oversold, and is currently back at a 4-year low after yesterday’s 3% plunge, it could be due for a technical rebound soon, OCBC said.

Here’s more from OCBC:

But the market’s risk aversion has grown sharply. As such, we are likely to see investors using these rebounds to unwind stale longs.

Having said that, we also note that the cash pile on the sidelines is growing and at some point in time, investors have to put it to use.

Chart-wise, 2521 will provide the initial support, ahead of the key 2500; assuming it holds, we may see a decent rebound from there to retest the 2600 hurdle.

Otherwise, the index could slide further to 2424.

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.
