Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 2.68%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, driven by the 7% surge by the Nikkei yesterday, the STI also staged a strong 2.7% rebound; but with the Nikkei currently down nearly 1% on profit-taking, we could also see the same here.

As before, the STI has yet to convincingly sustain above the key 2600 level yet; hence we are likely to see the index make a test of this level today, OCBC said.

Here's more from OCBC:

As long as 2600 does not hold, the STI could still be on its way back towards 2500 over the next couple of sessions.

And with the local banks due to report their results this week (UOB results out this morning, with net earnings down 1.2% at S$3.21b), the overall tone could remain somewhat cautious as well.

On the upside, we peg the next hurdle at 2650 ahead of the key 2700 resistance.

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.
