Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.52%

Expect markets to regain some ground this week.

The Straits Times Index (STI) ended 16.89 points or 0.52% lower to 3251.99 on Friday, taking the year-to-date performance to +12.89%.

The top active stocks that day were DBS, which declined 0.15%; CapitaLand Mall Trust, which gained 0.47%; Singtel, which declined 0.27%; OCBC Bank, which declined 1.26%; and Best World, with a 15.46% advance.

According to KGI, this came as global equity markets took a beating last week amid geopolitical tensions, terror attacks in Europe and dampened confidence on the U.S. President’s agenda to pass business-friendly legislation.

"We expect market to regain some ground in the current week ahead as economic fundamentals remained positive and growth momentum in the major economies continues to be on track," it said.

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.
