Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.01%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, renewed weakness on Wall Street overnight could spook local sentiment and send investors heading for the exit, especially after the STI’s surprising late rebound yesterday.

Here’s more from OCBC:

We also note that despite the late rebound, the losers actually still outnumbered the gainers by 1.3:1, suggesting that buying was concentrated on a few select stocks.

Hence, the odds are back on for the index to retrace lower towards the initial 2850 support; breaking which, the next support at 2800 beckons.

On the upside, 2900 is proving to be quite a formidable hurdle; perhaps much too formidable for the index to clear at the moment, given that the daily indicators are not looking too positive.

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.
