Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.44%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, the modest rebound on Wall Street overnight could provide some relief to the local sentiment; the Nikkei is up 0.7% in early trade.

While the STI will make an attempt to re-take the initial 2850 resistance, the ability to sustain itself above that remains in doubt, OCBC said.

Here’s more from OCBC:

Instead, we could see selling into strength emerging towards the end of the day as investors lighten their positions ahead of the weekend.

As before, we still expect more convincing bargain hunting interest to only surface closer to 2800.

On the upside, we peg the next resistance at 2876, ahead of the psychological 2900 barrier; on the downside, the first support is likely to be around 2829 before the key 2800 level.

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.
