Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.4%

Index likely to consolidate around current levels.

OCBC Investment Research said:

Retreat on Wall Street overnight and an indifferent Nikkei start could continue to weigh on local sentiment today, especially as the long weekend approaches.

In any case, we already saw a decline in interest yesterday, where the STI slipped 0.4%, and penny stocks dominated the action.

For now, the STI should continue to consolidate around current levels, albeit with a modest downside bias due to pre-holiday profit-taking.

We peg the initial support at 3231 (centre of Bollinger Band). But a breach of the next key support at 3210 would trigger a parabolic sell signal, leading to a deeper pullback to 3187 (lower Bollinger band).

On the upside, 3275 (upper Bollinger Band) is likely to be the initial hurdle ahead of 3300.

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.
