Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 1.5%

A pullback is on the cards today.

According to OCBC, the sharp pullback on Wall Street overnight is likely to spark profit-taking in the local bourse today, especially after the STI’s 1.5% jump yesterday (also +1.2% in the previous session); Nikkei has fallen 1.9% in early trade.

Here's more from OCBC:

Although the daily technical indicators are more positive, the overall sentiment continues to remain quite cautious; hence most will also want to square their positions ahead of the Polling Day holiday tomorrow.

As before, the index’s ability to stay above the immediate 2900 resistance-turned-support level will be closely watched.

A break could see a steady decline back towards 2800.

We peg the immediate hurdle at 2950; but 3000 remains the main hurdle to clear.

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.
