Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.9%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, gains on Wall Street overnight after the expected Fed rate hike should continue to provide a lift to local sentiment; the Nikkei has jumped 2.2% in early trade.

As before, with 2800 looking to be quite well protected, the STI could potentially stage a pretty strong technical rebound from here, OCBC said.

Here’s more from OCBC:

But we note that the STI has already added 0.9% yesterday in anticipation of the rate hike; hence further strong gains may still entice selling into strength.

Again, the inability to convincingly clear and hold above the key 2900 hurdle could still see selling into strength and send the index back towards 2800.

Before 2900, we peg the initial hurdle at 2850.

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.
