The FTSE ST Mid Cap Index rose 0.48%, whilst the FTSE ST Small Cap Index slipped 0.82%.

According to OCBC Investment Research, US stocks came off intraday lows but still closed down, as worries surrounding Turkey’s currency crisis and continued trade tensions weighed on investors’ confidence.

Seven out of eleven S&P 500 industries ended lower, led by Energy (-3.53%) and Materials (-1.55%) whilst Real Estate (0.84%) and Utilities (0.76%) led the gains.

"The weakness on Wall Street overnight could weigh on local sentiment," OCBC Investment Research noted.

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.
