Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.3%

Index failed to clear the 3200 hurdle.

OCBC Investment Research said:

While the STI ended 0.3% higher yesterday, it failed to clear the 3200 psychological hurdle, despite a brief spike.

As such, we could start to see more profit-taking interest creeping into the market, especially after the muted showing on Wall Street overnight.

Note that the 50-DMA has just cut down on the 100-DMA on 5 Jul, suggesting that the medium-term outlook is still slightly bearish.

As before, we think that the market is probably keen to retest the key 3135 support (61.8% retracement of the rally from 2931-3464).

A breach could herald a deeper pullback to 3000 and even 2931; but should it hold, it could form a base for another rebound to at least 3222 (upper Bollinger Band).

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.
