Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 1.6%

Expect more gains today.

According to OCBC, further gains on Wall Street last Friday could continue to keep local sentiment fairly buoyant again this morning.

Here's more from OCBC:

However, further strong gains may be limited, given that the local bourse is about to show overbought signals; price action has also formed a potential toppish signal; the Nikkei has eased about 0.3% in early trade.

We further note that some of the blue chips are also showing similar toppish and overbought signals, suggesting that a technical correction may be imminent.

As such, we could see profit-taking emerging if the index fails to clear the next key hurdle at 2900; this could send the STI back towards 2800.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
