Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.38%

Investors are urged to take caution today.

The Straits Time Index dipped 0.38% taking the year-date performance to 3553.73.

OCBC Investment Research noted that the stock market closed lower Tuesday as the technology and financial sectors came under pressure even as investors mostly shrugged off President Donald Trump’s decision to replace Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, according to OCBC Investment Research. 

Eight out of eleven S&P 500 industries ended lower, with Information Technology (-1.21%) and Financials (-1.09%) leading the declines while Real Estate (0.26%) led the gains.

“The weakness on Wall Street overnight could keep local sentiment cautious today, amidst fresh turmoil in President Trump’s administration,” OCBC added.

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.
