Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.1%

Will today's tone improve?

OCBC Investment Research said:

The pull-back on Wall Street overnight is likely to cue the local bourse to a poorer start this morning.

Despite other Asian markets having a strong run yesterday, the STI ended just 0.1% higher (just 3 points above the 3200 psychological level); this suggests that local sentiments remain rather uncertain at the moment.

And with today’s tone likely to be a tad more downside biased, we could see the index testing the 3200 level again.

Below that, the next base lies at the 3155 minor trough. On the upside, 3230 is still the immediate resistance (minor peaks), as the next hurdle is pegged at the 3260 key peaks.

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.
