Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.6%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, the pullback on Wall Street overnight could continue to weigh on local sentiment, extending the STI's 0.6% pullback.

Here’s more from OCBC:

As before, we note that the STI does look ripe for a healthy correction, given the strong run-up over the previous five sessions; the overall market was also starting to look a tad overbought.

For now, we peg the immediate support around 2820, ahead of the key 2800 psychological level; on the upside, we peg the initial hurdle at 2880, ahead of the strong 2900 psychological level.

Overall volume was just over 1.1b units traded, while total value inched up slightly to S$935m, which also raises the average value/unit to around S$0.84; not surprising given that investors have moved to take profit on the recent strong gains in some of the blue chips.

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.
