Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 1.67%

Expect modest gains today.

According to OCBC, the pullback on Wall Street overnight could inspire the similar profit-taking in the local bourse today; the Nikkei is down 1.2% in early trade.

While the STI managed to conquer the initial 2650 hurdle, it looks unlikely that this level will hold as an immediate support; instead, we should see the index slipping back to 2600.

Here’s more from OCBC:

For now, we expect 2600 to hold, and should see another attempt to push towards 2700 in the coming sessions.

However, should the index fail to clear 2700 or come close to testing it, we could see selling into strength resuming as the overall downtrend remains intact for now.

Below 2600, we peg the next support at 2521.

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.
