Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.64%

Don’t expect gains today.

The Straits Times Index (STI) ended 20.28 or 0.64% lower at 3,143.

The top active stocks were DBS, which crashed 1%, Singtel, which grew 0.63%, UOB, which dipped 0.91%, OCBC Bank, which fell 1.38%, and ComfortDelGro, which increased 1.23%.

According to OCBC Investment Research (OIR), US stocks logged small gains in a choppy session as bond yields halted their slide, giving the market a reprieve from selling sparked by continued US-China trade tensions and worries about global economic growth.

Seven out of eleven S&P 500 industries ended higher. The best performers were Real Estate (0.65%) and Information Technology (0.60%) whilst the worst performers were Energy (-1.18%) and Financials (-0.44%).

“We expect today’s tone to remain cautious as trade tensions continue with latest news from President Trump’s import tariffs plan on Mexico,” OIR said.

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.
