Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.7%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, continued strength on Wall Street last Friday could continue to keep local sentiment buoyant, adding to the ST’s 0.7% gains; the Nikkei is up another 1.4% in early trade.

Here’s more from OCBC:

Also with the daily technical indicators still looking pretty positive, we could see the index rising further to test the initial hurdle at 2850, where a strong break could see the STI pushing higher towards the next key 2900 hurdle.

However, do note that the market has risen sharply over the past month, suggesting that a technical correction may be due; it could likely come once it is clear that the index cannot clear the 2900 level.

In the near term, we peg the initial support at 2800, ahead of the next one at 2760 (but note that this is a rising parabolic sell signal).

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.
