After the mid-week break yesterday, investors are also likely to adopt a wait-and-see attitude, ahead of the US non-farm payroll data due Friday night; but many believe the likelihood of a US rate hike this year is dim.

Interestingly, while overall market volume jumped 28% with 2.41b units traded, total value only edged up 3% to S$1.0b; this as average value/unit slipped further to just S$0.41, down 19%, with penny stocks firmly back in the spotlight.

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.
