Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.3%

Don't expect gains today.

According to OCBC, overnight Wall Street weakness is likely to continue weighing on local sentiment this morning, potentially extending yesterday’s 0.3% fall.

Here's more from OCBC:

We note that the index has lost nearly 3% since peaking at 3549 on 16 Apr; it is also near several key supports.

The first being 3446 (50-DMA) and then 3443 (lower boundary of uptrend channel since mid Oct last year), where a convincing breach of both could send the index back towards 3430 (61.8% retracement of 3356-3549 rally) or even 3404 (100-DMA).

However, the daily technical indicators continue to look pretty negative, with both the RSI and MACD still declining at a fairly decent clip.

Hence in the event of a technical rebound, selling into strength could be a better option for now. Near-term caps are likely at 3478 (30-DMA) and 3500.

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.
