Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.03%

Today’s tone likely to turn more downside biased.

Singapore Exchange noted:

The Straits Times Index (STI) ended 0.94 points lower or -0.03% to 3,054.78, taking the year-to-date performance to -3.55%.

The FTSE ST Mid Cap Index gained +0.66% while the FTSE ST Small Cap Index gained +0.30%. The top active stocks were Rowsley (+0.91%), China Minzhong (-0.44%), SingTel (unchanged), DBS (-0.31%), and UOB (-0.49%).

Meanwhile, OCBC Investment Research said:

The poor Nikkei start (down 0.9%) is likely to weigh on local sentiments this morning.

Meanwhile, the STI has started to show signs of slowing its ascent; after pushing near to the 3070 key support-turned-resistance intraday, it gave up the entire initial gains to end flat yesterday.

And with today’s tone likely to turn a tad more downside biased, we could see the index drifting lower back in the direction of the 3000 key support.

Beyond that, the subsequent base is pegged at the 2930 key trough. On the upside, we see the next hurdle at the 3130 minor support-turned-resistance.

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.
