Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.4%

Expect more gains today.

According to OCBC, the rebound on Wall Street overnight could continue to boost local sentiment; although we do not rule out profit-taking should the STI again fail to clear the immediate downtrend hurdle at 3333.

Here's more from OCBC:

Note that the STI hit an intraday high of 3330 yesterday, but lost nearly half of earlier gains to close 0.4% higher.

Still, the near-term outlook remains quite positive, as the daily MACD has just cut up from inside the negative region; daily RSI continues to rise out of the oversold region.

Above 3333, we peg the next hurdle at 3357 (trough in mid Mar); 3291 remains the key support, ahead of 3267 (early Jan low).

We suspect traders will also look towards the Chinese bourses for cues, especially after the steep tumble last Friday (SSE Composite tanked 6.4%).

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.
