Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.4%

But risks are still in the firing line.

OCBC Investment Research noted:

Despite registering another 0.4% gain and overcoming the 3300 psychological level yesterday, the STI is still short of testing the strong resistance at 3315 (key peaks).

And with today’s tone likely to deteriorate, we could see the index reversing back south in the direction of the 3260 minor trough again.
Below that, the subsequent vital support still lies at the 3230 key resistance-turned-support. Meanwhile, we see secondary resistance at the 3400 psychological hurdle.

Meanwhile, IG Markets Singapore said:

The STI lifted 0.4% to break back above 3300 points. But all risk assets are in the firing line when their main catalyst for so long, QE3, threatens to be taken away.

Commodities were the worst performers, taking it from all sides as QE prospects were reduced and reports of a significant commodity fund winding up long positions put huge pressure on price.

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.
