Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.6%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, the sharp rebound on Wall Street should continue to keep local sentiment buoyant, although some market watchers believe that the overnight rally was driven largely by short-covering; the Nikkei has jumped 2.5% in early trade.

However, do note that while the daily technical have turned more positive, the STI’s continued gains hinge on the ability of the index to convincingly clear the key 2700 resistance.

Here’s more from OCBC:

As before, a persistent failure could entice the bears to set up new shorts, sending the STI slipping back towards 2600.

On the other hand, a strong break could lead to further gains towards the next key 2800 level.

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.
