Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.02%

Expect muted gains today.

The Straits Times Index (STI) ended 0.02% lower to 3,427.51, taking the year-to-date performance to +0.72%.

OCBC Investment Research noted that US stock-market indexes jumped on Friday, with the Dow finishing with a gain of more than 200 points following jobs report in May that surpassed expectations.

Nine out of 11 S&P 500 industries ended higher, led by Information Technology (1.97%) and Materials (1.54%), whilst Utilities (-1.54%) and Consumer Staples (-0.02%) bucked the trend.

"The gains on Wall Street Friday on US growth could provide some inspiration to the local bourse today. But we expect the overall tone to remain cautious as trade concerns still in focus," OIR said.

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.
