Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 1.6%

Expect a pullback today.

According to OCBC, the pullback on Wall Street overnight could spark a similar bout of profit-taking in the local bourse this morning, especially after the recent 2-day rebound of nearly 3.7%; Nikkei has opened 0.1% down.

Here's more from OCBC:

Also note that while the STI gained another 1.6% yesterday, it did not quite manage to test the key 2900 hurdle; hence a continued failure to do so may encourage bears to set up new shorts.

Nevertheless, the daily technical indicators remain somewhat positive, suggesting that we could still see investors looking to buy on dips – we peg the initial support at 2869, ahead of the key 2800 level.

Above 2900, the next key resistance remains at 3000, with just a mild speed bump around 2950.

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.
