Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.5%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, the pullback on Wall Street Friday night amidst increased odds of a Jun Fed rate hike could spark a similar correction in the local bourse, especially after the STIs 0.5% gains in the previous session.

Here’s more from OCBC:

But as before, we believe that the STI will continue to trading around the key 2800 level for now, probably keeping within a tight 2770-2820 range in the near-term; we peg the next support and resistance at 2750 (100-DMA) and 2843, respectively.

Overall volume dwindled further last Friday, dropping 15% to just 1.3b units traded, and while average value/unit jumped 19% to S$0.61, the focus remains firmly on the penny plays; however, we note that some of the blue chips like banks are looking slightly more bearish in the near-term and could see some profit-taking emerging soon.

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.
