Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.69%

Prepare for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, the mixed showing on Wall Street last Friday is unlikely to provide much direction to the local bourse this morning.

While the STI ended 0.7% lower last Friday, the market does look like it is due for a pause and some consolidation before heading higher once again; this as near-term technical indicators look slightly stretched, but the medium-term outlook remains relatively positive.

According to OCBC:

Overall volume eased 9% to 1.5b traded, while average value/unit also slipped 9% from S$0.75 to S$0.68; losers led gainers 275 to 183.

For now, we peg the initial support at 2919 (38.2% retracement of plunge from 3549 to 2528), ahead of the key 2900 support; initial hurdle is at 2950, while the key one remains at 3000.

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.
