Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.2%

But expect a pullback today.

According to OCBC, the continued weakness on Wall Street overnight could start weighing on local sentiment and spark profit-taking, especially after yesterday’s 0.2% unconvincing rebound; this as the gains came amid lower volume (market value also fell below S$1b; losers outpaced gainers).

Here's more from OCBC:

Although the daily MACD indicator has just cut up, the stochastic indicator continues to fall out of the overbought region after a recent cut down.

As such, we think that the market remains largely unsure of the index’s near-term direction (but may be more inclined to the downside).

Having said that, we believe that a filling of the minor gap at 3252-3258 could provide a near-term base for the index to inch higher thereafter.

· On the upside, we peg the initial cap at 3375 (recent peaks), ahead of 3387 (2014 intraday high)

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.
