Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 1.7%

Don't expect strong gains today.

According to OCBC, the muted closing on Wall Street last Friday could impart a sense of caution to the local bourse this morning, reining in further strong gains, especially after the STI’s 1.7% surge on Friday.

Here's more from OCBC:

Even though the index is expected to re-test and clear the initial 2650 hurdle, the index’s ability to test and sustain itself convincingly above the key 2700 level will be watched keenly; failure to do could again send the index slipping back towards 2600.

And with the earnings season drawing to a close, there could be a lack of corporate developments to drive prices higher; and the next key event would be the upcoming FY16 Budget due 24 Mar.

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.
