Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.3%

But expect a pullback today.

According to OCBC, the sharp pullback on Wall Street overnight is likely to weigh on local sentiment this morning.

Here’s more from OCBC:

Although the STI ended 0.3% higher yesterday, the rebound was half-hearted at best, compared to the losses of nearly 1.7% over the previous two sessions.

In fact, the price action yesterday formed a doji star, which also led the daily MACD indicator to cut down, suggesting that the bears may soon take the upper hand.

The index faces an important support around 3301, provided by the 30-DMA and mid of Bollinger Band; a breach could send it back towards 3231 (lower Bollinger Band), or even 3170 (50% retracement of the 2953-3387 rally).

On the upside, we peg the immediate hurdle at 3332 (intraday high yesterday), ahead of 3371 (upper Bollinger band). Note that the parabolic buy signal will only be triggered around 3384.

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.
