Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.2%

Expect another decline today.

According to OCBC, despite better US job numbers, the spectre of rising interest rates could keep local sentiment cautious in the near term – note that Wall Street was also down Friday on the back of weaker crude prices.

Here's more from OCBC:

As such, we could continue to see more profit-taking in the local bourse, especially after the recent strong gains – daily stochastic indicator has started to fall out of the overbought region after a sharp cut down last week.

For now, the index could slip further to fill the minor gap at 3252-3258 (but note that there is a parabolic sell signal around 3267), ahead of a stronger support at 3218 (uptrend line since early Feb 2014, also rising 0.9 point/day).

On the upside, we peg the initial cap at 3375 (recent peaks), ahead of 3387 (2014 intraday high).

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.
