Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.16%

Expect more gains today.

According to OCBC, continued strength on Wall Street overnight should keep local sentiment modestly upbeat, potentially extending the STI’s 0.2% gains yesterday.

Here’s more from OCBC:

Still, the ability of the index to sustain itself convincingly remains crucial – failure to do so could see it slipping back towards the initial support at 2770.

But with the Jun holidays upon us, chances are the STI will continue to range within a pretty narrow band, probably between 2770 and 2820 in the near term.

Meanwhile, overall volume was down 4% with 1.5b units traded, and average value/unit slipped 26% to S$0.51; this as micro-penny stocks continue to hog the spotlight – Cedar Strategic jumped 50% to 0.03c with 441m shares traded.

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.
