Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 1.94%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, further gains on Wall Street overnight should continue to keep local sentiment fairly buoyant, although we could see the usual pre-weekend profit-taking emerging towards the close, as some traders may opt to lighten their positions ahead of the key US non-farm payroll numbers due tonight; the Nikkei has eased some 0.4% in early trade.

Here’s more from OCBC:

And with the STI fast approaching the key 2800 hurdle, there could also be some reason for caution as well; this as continued failure to convincingly clear this hurdle could send the index slipping back towards 2700.

However, we think that the 2700 support should hold up, and could lead to more confident buying interest thereafter.

Above 2800, we peg the next key hurdle at 2812 (100-DMA).

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.
