Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.5%

Initial cap pegged at the 3223 mark.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The muted Wall Street showing overnight is likely to keep local sentiment cautious this morning.

Although the STI posted a 0.5% rebound yesterday, we note that it was far from convincing – the index barely managed to stay above the key 3200 level.

Play was still focused on penny stocks (average value of just S$0.43) and even then, losers managed to overwhelm gainers in an up day.

As such, an inability to stay above 3200 could herald a return to the recent 3178 low or even 3110 (early Oct 2012 low).

On the upside, we peg the initial cap at 3223 (5-day moving average), ahead of 3240 (several recent bottoms). Note that a bullish parabolic buy signal can only be triggered at 3313.

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.
