Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.13%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, although Wall Street closed higher overnight, the overall tone in the local bourse could remain somewhat cautious when it reopens as per normal this morning; this after a technical glitch halted trade on the SGX for nearly six hours yesterday.

Here’s more from OCBC:

And with only less than three hours of trading done yesterday, overall volume plunged 73% with just 778.0m units done, while total value dropped 70% to S$339.3m, even as average value/unit rose 12% to S$0.44.

Nevertheless, we are still likely to see further near-term consolidation around the key 2900 level before the index pushes higher again; we peg 2885 and 2920 as the initial boundaries.

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.
