Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.1%

Expect another retreat today.

According to OCBC, the pullback on Wall Street and the weaker US futures are likely to encourage further profit-taking in the local bourse today.

Here's more from OCBC:

We also expect the tone to be very cautious as the US markets will be shut tonight; Greece is due to hold its referendum this Sunday.

Recall that we have already cautioned that the continued failure to clear the key 3357 hurdle could spark profit-taking.

And true enough, the STI ended 0.1% lower yesterday after peaking at 3357.95 intraday; and while it closed just above its immediate support (now around 3320), we could see it easing further towards 3302.

On the upside, 3357 remains the key hurdle, ahead of 3373.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
