Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.4%

Expect a pullback today.

According OCBC, with Wall Street again ending mixed overnight, the STI could re-open lower this morning; the local bourse was shut yesterday and most Asian indexes ended mostly lower.

Here’s more from OCBC:

As before, the inability to convincingly hold above the key 3000 level does not bode well for the market in the near-term; we could see an attempt to retake that level today, but the daily technical indicators are starting to look more negative.

And with the earnings season coming to a close this Friday, the dearth of corporate newsflow could also keep investors sidelined, especially ahead of a possible US rate hike in Dec.

We peg the initial support at 2950, ahead of 2900. On the upside, the next resistance above 3000 is 3049.

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.
