Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.3%

Expect another pullback today.

According to OCBC, as expected, the STI staged a retreat yesterday, down 0.3% on profit-taking; and we expect the selling to continue on the back of the again muted showing on Wall Street overnight.

Here's more from OCBC:

As before, the medium-term indicators continue to look somewhat negative, so selling on any rebound may still be the main strategy for now.

And we also see the psychological 3300 hurdle as a tough nut to crack, especially as we head into the year-end holidays.

Note that the STI needs to close above 3285 this week to retake the uptrend (since Oct’11) support-turned-resistance line, otherwise we could see a deeper pullback towards 3221 (38.2% retracement of the 2953-3387 rally).

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.
