Don't expect gains today.

The Straits Times Index (STI) ended 0.12 or 0% lower at 3,183.14.

The top active stocks were DBS, which fell 1.2%, OCBC Bank, which dipped 0.63%, UOB, which went down 1.21%, Genting Sing, which slipped 0.57%, and Singtel, which remained unchanged.

The FTSE Mid Cap grew 0.02% whilst the FTSE Small Cap rose 0.44%.

According to OCBC Investment Research (OIR), US stocks finished lower Wednesday as lingering trade woes overshadowed the release of the minutes from the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting that was largely interpreted as accommodative.

Six out of eleven S&P 500 industries ended lower. The best performers were Utilities (0.81%) and Health Care (0.63%) whilst worst performers were Energy (-1.58%) and Consumer Discretionary (-0.90%).

“The STI is likely to track the losses on Wall Street overnight amidst trade tensions,” OIR said.

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.
