Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.3%

Expect some losses today.

According to OCBC, while Wall Street ended modestly higher overnight, the US index futures are showing renewed weakness, suggesting that the overall tone remains quite muted; the Nikkei is already down 1.4% in early trade.

Here's more from OCBC:

Although the STI ended 0.3% higher yesterday, it lost about half of its earlier gains, which does not come as a surprise as many are still adopting a “sell-into-strength” approach; we are likely to see more investors paring their positions ahead of the CNY long weekend.

As before, the inability of the STI to clear and sustain itself above the key 2600 hurdle does not bode well; hence the index still looks poised to ease further towards 2521 or even 2500 in the near term.

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.
