Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.6%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, continued weakness on Wall Street overnight ahead of the Brexit vote next week is also likely to weigh further on local sentiment; and we could see the STI adding further to its 0.6% loss yesterday, as well as its 4-day losing streak.

Here’s more from OCBC:

As before, a break of the key 100-DMA support (currently around 2760) does not bode well and could result in the STI easing further to 2700 in the near term; below that, we peg the next support at 2680.

But if it does hold, we may just get a technical rebound; however, we believe that investors are more likely to use any bounce to unwind stale longs. Hence we continue to peg the key hurdle at 2800, ahead of 2820.

Meanwhile, overall volume shrank 39% to 1.55b units traded, while total value eased 7% to S$862.6m, and average value/unit jumped 50% to S$0.56.

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.
