Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.5%

Today’s tone likely to turn downside biased, says analyst.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The pullback by both the US indices overnight and the Nikkei index (down 1.7% now) could dent local sentiments this morning.

As a recap, the STI failed in its attempt to conquer the 3230 key support-turned-resistance yesterday, and ended with a 0.5% retreat instead; clearly, investors are still very cautious about the market outlook.

And with today’s tone likely to turn downside biased, we could see the index pulling back further in the direction of the 3160 immediate resistance-turned-support.

Meanwhile, the next base lies at the 3100 key trough. On the upside, 3320 remains the subsequent key hurdle to overcome.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
