Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.4%

Analyst predicts index to decline 0.6% at the open.

IG Markets Singapore:

The STI closed at 3269.1, a gain of 0.4% but after the struggles in European trade we are currently pricing for an open 0.6% lower today. So we are basically giving back all of yesterday’s gains at the start of today’s session.

OCBC Investment Research said:

While the STI ended 0.4% higher yesterday, it was well off the intraday high, suggesting it may just be a “dead cat bounce” following the previous session’s 0.9% tumble.

Meanwhile the overall volume has dwindled further, probably in part due to the Mar school holidays and also a sign that the market has turned slightly more cautious around current levels.

Not surprising as the STI has formed a “triple top” with peaks around 3319; it has also triggered a parabolic sell signal two sessions back.

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.
