Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 1.75%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, continued strength on Wall Street last Friday should keep local sentiment relatively upbeat this morning; the Nikkei is up 0.6% in early trade.

But the overall tone could remain somewhat cautious, as investors will still be looking to the Chinese markets for near-term cues, OCBC said.

Here’s more from OCBC:

As before, the STI needs to convincingly breach and sustain above 2600 before we see more buying interest coming back to the market.

If it fails to do so, we could see investors reverting to selling into strength and see the STI resume its slide towards 2500.

For now, we peg the initial support at 2521, ahead of the key 2500; above 2600, we peg the next hurdle at 2650, with the key hurdle remaining at 2700.

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.
