Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.24%

Expect more gains today.

According to OCBC, although the STI extended its recovery with a 0.2% higher close yesterday, we are more likely to see profit-taking kick in today, given the muted Wall Street close overnight as well as the start of the school holidays from next Monday.

Here's more from OCBC:

In addition, the index’s recent price action may have triggered a potential bearish reversal signal; this could send the STI back towards the key 100-DMA support (currently hovering around 2749).

As before, a convincing break of this support is likely to send the index back towards the next key support at 2700; on the other hand, 2800 remains the key hurdle.

Meanwhile, we are already seeing a dip in overall market volume (down 16% at 1.6b units); but average value/unit rose 18% to S$0.52, and we could see it rising up further if the profit-taking spreads to the blue chips, especially after the recent rebound.

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.
