Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 1.7%

Expect some profit-taking today.

According to OCBC, the STI’s rally of 1.7% yesterday was stronger-than-expected, especially in light of the 7.9% fall in NODX in Apr; and with Wall Street turning lower overnight, we could see profit-taking emerging once again.

Here's more from OCBC:

Failure to clear the next key hurdle at 2800 is widely expected to bring back the bears; in any case, the market will also need to be convinced that the 100-DMA resistance-turned-support (currently around 2758) before we see more bargain hunters coming back.

Otherwise, we could see more short interest coming back into the market, and send the index back towards 2700.

Overall volume dipped 29%, but remained at an active 2.7b units traded, while average value/unit almost doubled to S$0.46; likely driven by the rebound in some of the battered blue chips.

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.
