Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.78%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, despite the rebound on Wall Street overnight, the local bourse is unlikely to see further strong gains, especially after the STI’s 0.8% rise yesterday; this extending the previous session’s 0.5% gains.

Here's more from OCBC:

But the recent price action suggests that the index may be starting to look toppish and inability to clear the immediate hurdle around 2843 could send the STI back towards 2820.

While daily technical indicators are somewhat neutral, we note that the recent gains were made on relatively thin interest.

Overall volume though inched up 6% to 1.38b units traded, average value/unit was flat at S$0.61; market breadth was also quite muted, with 694 names unchanged, as gainers just managed to edge out losers 1.1 to 1.

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.
