Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.7%

Initial hurdle pegged at 3,310.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The fairly strong rebound on Wall Street overnight is likely to provide some inspiration to the local bourse this morning, especially after yesterday’s 0.7% loss.

We peg the initial hurdle at 3,310, ahead of the 3,330 key peak.

On the downside, the immediate support is now pegged at the 3,265 recent trough, followed by the next base at the 3,240 key resistance-turned-support.

IG Markets Singapore said:

In Singapore, March CPI eased to 3.5% helped by lower COE and housing market on the government’s clampdown on credit. This is a positive sign for policy makers who have been fighting to rein in inflation targeting the lower end of 3%.

In Asia, we expect the momentum to trickle through. Our prices show HSI to open up 1% at 22056 and Singapore’s STI to open up higher.

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.
