Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.2%

Expect a rebound today.

According to OCBC, after chalking up its 9th consecutive session of losses, the STI does look like it is due for a technical rebound soon; not only did the index recover from early losses to close just 0.2% lower, but it also managed to stay above the key 100-DMA support (currently at 2765).

Here’s more from OCBC:

While the daily MACD has just breached the centre line, the daily RSI has flattened out its decline just below 35%; this further points to a near-term bottom as well.

Market breadth has also improved, with losers just edging out gainers 1.1:1; overall volume was steady at 1.2b units, while average value/unit slipped 24% to S$0.84, suggesting the sell-off in blue chips is easing.

But the muted Wall Street showing overnight could continue to keep local sentiment cautious, and potentially limiting the magnitude of a rebound.

We peg the initial cap at 2800; key support at 2700.

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.
