Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.07%

Investors likely to stay by the sidelines today.

Singapore Exchange said:

The Straits Times Index (STI) ended -2.15 points lower or -0.07% to 3086.64, taking the year-to-date performance to -2.47%. The FTSE ST Mid Cap Index declined -0.04% while the FTSE ST Small Cap Index gained +0.10%. The top active stocks were SingTel (unchanged), Wilmar (+1.51%), DBS (+0.36%), Noble Grp (+4.06%) and UOB (+0.49%).

OCBC Investment Research said:

The rebound on Wall Street overnight is likely to keep local sentiments fairly buoyant this morning.

However, we do not expect the STI to see any significant movements today as investors could stay by the sidelines in anticipation of the Singapore budget announcement later this afternoon.

For now, we still see the immediate hurdle at the 3120 support-turned-resistance, with the subsequent obstacle marked at the 3150 minor peaks.

On the downside, 3070 is the immediate resistance-turned-support, followed by the next base at the 3030 support.

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.
