Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.6%

A pullback is likely today.

According to OCBC, following the STI’s 0.6% gains yesterday, the index has closed higher for the fifth session; but recent price action suggests that the market may be due for a technical correction soon.

Here's more from OCBC:

We note that the daily RSI is now just a shade below the overbought region, although the daily MACD continues to look pretty positive.

As such, we could start to see some healthy profit-taking should the index fail to clear the immediate 2885 hurdle, or fail to sustain itself above the immediate 2843 support.

While overall volume surged nearly 50% to 2.06b units, total value only grew 18% to S$987.7m, as average value/unit slipped 21% to S$0.48; this as interest continues to be driven by penny plays, even as gainers led losers 2.1 to 1.

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.
