Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 1.14%

Expect some profit-taking today.

According to OCBC, the rebound on Wall Street overnight could continue to buoy local sentiment, extending the STI’s 1.1% gains yesterday; the Nikkei is up 1.2% in early trade.

With the rapid re-taking of the key 2800 hurdle, we could see further gains, probably driven in part of short covering; the next hurdle lies at 2850, ahead of the key 2900 resistance.

Here’s more from OCBC:

Having said that, investors should not get carried away as the medium-term fundamental outlook for both the economy and corporates remain muted.

As such, we could see profit-taking rapidly emerging should the index fail to convincingly test/clear the 2900 level.

On the downside, we peg the initial support at 2800, ahead of 2750.

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.
