Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.1%

Local sentiment is still fairly weak, says analyst.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The retreat by US stocks overnight and the weak Nikkei start (down 0.6% now) are likely to keep the local bourse on the back-foot this morning.

Despite recovering as much as 0.7% intraday yesterday, the STI still ended the day in the red (down 0.1%) subsequently; this suggests that local sentiment is still fairly weak at the moment.

And with today’s tone likely to turn more downside biased, the index could start slipping towards the 3070 key support again.

Should this key support be violated, we could see a quick retreat towards the next key support at the 3000 psychological level. Meanwhile, the immediate resistance is still pegged at the 3130 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.
