Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.3%

Today's tone likely to remain uninspiring, says analyst.

Singapore Exchange said:

The Straits Times Index (STI) ended 9.47 points higher or +0.30% to 3,186.72, taking the year-to-date performance to +0.62%. The FTSE ST Mid Cap Index declined -0.47% while the FTSE ST Small Cap Index declined -0.07%. The top active stocks were SingTel (+0.53%), Capitaland (-0.65%), Genting Singapore (-2.06%), DBS (+0.36%) and Keppel Corp (+0.64%).

OCBC Investment Research said:

The slight gains on Wall Street overnight are unlikely to have much impact on local sentiments this morning.

After cracking below the 3200 psychological support last Friday, the STI failed to initiate a significant rebound yesterday; this suggests investors are indeed turning more pessimistic at the moment.

And with today's tone likely to remain uninspiring, we could potentially see the index drifting lower towards the 3155 immediate base (minor trough).

Below that, the subsequent support lies at the 3120 key troughs. On the upside, 3200 is now the immediate support-turned-resistance, followed by the next hurdle at the 3230 minor peaks.

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.
