Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.37%

Expect modest gains today.

According to OCBC, the rebound on Wall Street overnight should provide more cheer to the local bourse this morning and keep the STI’s rebound going, potentially heading for a test of the key 2850 hurdle once again.

The price action yesterday, where the STI reversed early losses to end 0.4% higher, suggests that a near-term bottom may have been reached; in addition, it is the second straight session where the STI has managed to close above the key 2800 support.

Here’s more from OCBC:

As such, we should see slightly more confident buying interest emerging, as well as the closing of short positions; however, we may see profit-taking emerging again if the index fails to convincingly clear the 2850 barrier.

While market volume slipped around 11% yesterday, average value/unit remained relatively stable at S$0.68; we expect banks, major O&G names to come back into play today.

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.
