Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.6%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, the pullback on Wall Street overnight could also spark a similar move in the local bourse today; the Nikkei is already down 0.6% in early trade.

Although the STI recovered 0.6% yesterday, we note that the overall volume has fallen some 23%, while the average value/unit was little changed at S$0.49.

Here’s more from OCBC:

In addition, the inability of the STI to clear the initial 2850 hurdle (only hit an intraday high of 2846 yesterday) does not bode well for the bulls in the near term; hence a pullback towards 2800 looks likely.

And for now, we expect to see the STI range trade between these two levels until we see more colour from the 1Q16 earnings due over the next 40 days or so.

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.
