Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.5%

Today’s tone likely to remain downside biased.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The significant retreat by the US indices overnight could spook the local bourse to a negative opening this morning.

Meanwhile, the STI slipped for the second consecutive session yesterday with a 0.5% loss; this suggests that the downside momentum is indeed building up.

And with today’s tone likely to remain downside biased, we could see the index declining further towards the 3070 trough for a test next.

Beyond that, the next support lies at the 3030 resistance-turned-support. On the upside, the 3140 level (recent peak) is still the immediate resistance, as the subsequent hurdle lies at the 3190 key peak.

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.
