Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.2%

Today’s tone likely to remain downside biased.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The pull-back by US stocks overnight could dent local sentiments further this morning.

Despite rallying as much as 0.8% intraday yesterday, the STI sunk to 0.2% loss instead by the close; this suggests investors are still very cautious about the current market outlook.

With today’s tone likely to remain a tad more downside biased, we could see the 3200 resistance-turned-support being tested. Should this base give way, the index will likely pull back further towards the 3155 minor trough.

On the upside, 3235 is now the immediate resistance (yesterday’s high), followed by the next hurdle at the 3260 key peaks.

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.
