Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.2%

Expect another pullback today.

According to OCBC, the muted showing on Wall Street overnight could encourage further profit-taking in the local bourse today, extending the STI’s 0.2% pullback yesterday.

Here's more from OCBC:

Even though the daily MACD still looks pretty bullish, we note that the market looks heavily overbought (RSI around 75%, stochastic at 92%).

As such, we believe profit-taking on the STI’s 12.7% rally since 17 Oct is not only healthy but also necessary before we see further gains.

Furthermore, the index is already hitting the upper boundary of the uptrend channel since 17 Oct.

For now, we peg the initial support around 3458-3469 region (previous peaks), ahead of 3336 (lower Bollinger Band). Upside cap is around 3549.

Separately, local tech stocks could be under a bit of selling pressure after poor results from US chipmakers.

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.
