Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.6%

But expect a pullback today.

According to OCBC, the more muted gains on Wall Street overnight suggests the tone is turning more cautious ahead of the 2-day FOMC meeting, which could spill over to the local bourse as well; the Nikkei is down 0.2% in early trade.

Here's more from OCBC:

While the STI added another 0.6% yesterday, we note that it ended off early high and we also saw a sizable drop in overall market volume.

More importantly, the index did not quite manage to sustain above the immediate 2850 resistance; and by doing so, it has also formed a potential reversal signal.

Continued failure to do could bring about a possible correction soon, which is likely to send the index back towards 2800; we note that there is a parabolic sell signal around 2773, where a trigger could spell more downside risk for the market.

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.
