Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.46%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, although the STI made a surprising recovery yesterday, where it reversed early losses to close 0.5% higher, the mixed closing on Wall Street overnight as well as the usual caution ahead of the weekend could limit further gains today.

Here’s more from OCBC:

Instead, we could see some profit-taking if the STI fails to clear the key 100-DMA support-turned-resistance (now hovering around 2760) once again; it has not been in its previous three attempts.

Although overall volume improved 27% to 1.8b units traded, average value/unit tumbled 40% to S$0.47, suggesting that the spotlight has moved back to the second liners.

Above 2760, we peg the next key hurdle at 2800; on the downside, we peg the key support at 2700, ahead of 2680.

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.
