Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.79%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, the modest rebound on Wall Street last Friday night could help soothe some frayed nerves in the local bourse this morning; although overall interest could remain fairly muted with HK and China markets shut for Ching Ming Festival today.

Here’s more from OCBC:

Even though the STI appears to be holding up well above the key 2800 support, any rebound is likely to be capped by the initial 2850 hurdle; and as before, continued failure to clear this resistance could bring on the shorts again.

Meanwhile the spotlight is likely to remain on the second liners, with market talk still focused on potential M&As and even privatization; but we note that several blue chips like the banks are starting to look more interesting after the recent correction, and may be due for a technical rebound.

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.
