Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.3%

Today's tone likely to deteriorate, says analyst.

OCBC Investment Research said:

With US stocks pulling back broadly after the FOMC minutes, this is likely to dent local sentiments as well this morning.

Despite rebounding a mild 0.3% yesterday, the STI still closed significantly lower than its intraday high; this suggests that investors are rather cautious about pushing the index higher at the moment.

And with today’s tone likely to deteriorate, we could see the index heading lower in the direction of the 3425 recent trough; the subsequent base lies at the 3405 key resistance-turned-support.

On the upside, the immediate resistance is still pegged at the 3485 peak, followed by the 3500 psychological hurdle.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
