Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.67%

Don’t expect gains today.

The Straits Times Index (STI) ended 21.9 or 0.67% higher at 3,312.52.

The top active stocks were DBS, which grew 0.91%, OCBC Bank, which went up 0.7%, UOB, which rose 0.58%, Singtel, which jumped 1.94%, and YZJ Shipbldg SGD which increased 0.66%.

According to OCBC Investment Research (OIR), US stocks posted their worst one-day performance in weeks on Tuesday, albeit finishing above session lows, building on the previous day’s decline after US officials confirmed that tariffs on imported goods from China could be raised by the end of the week.

All eleven S&P 500 industries ended lower, led by Information Technology (-2.12%) and Industrials (-2.04%).

“The weakness on Wall Street overnight on U.S-China tariff worries could weigh on local sentiment,” OIR said.

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.
