Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 2.69%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, further strength on Wall Street overnight should keep local sentiment upbeat, although we may see some caution seeping in, especially after the STI’s stronger-than-expected rally of nearly 2.7% yesterday.

Not only did the index take out the initial 2850 hurdle with ease, but it also ended at the high, and is now just a stone’s throw away from the next key 2900 resistance, OCBC said.

Here’s more from OCBC:

We also saw total value doubled to S$1.5b on the back of a 63% surge in total volume to 2.0b units traded, as winners overwhelmed losers 2.2 to 1.

However, the strong push has nudged the daily RSI up sharply and is just a shade below the overbought region; on the other hand, the daily MACD has finally cut up.

While the key 2900 hurdle looks to be in danger of being taken out, there is yet another one at 2919 (38.2% retracement of plunge from 3549 to 2529).

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.
