Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.52%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, the recovery on Wall Street overnight could continue to lift local sentiment; the Nikkei has rebounded 0.6% in early trade.

However, with the US index futures turning lower, further strong gains for the STI may be unlikely, given that the index was already up 0.6% yesterday; and then, there is the weekend factor, OCBC said.

Here’s more from OCBC:

As before, a convincing breach of the 2600 hurdle is key to a sustained recovery; failure to do so could send the index back towards 2500.

But we sense that the overall sentiment remains cautious; despite the gains yesterday, there were more losers than gainers.

Above 2600, the next resistance is at 2650.

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.
