Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.82%

Expect modest gains today.

According to OCBC, the rebound on Wall Street overnight should provide the local bourse with a brief respite; but with the weekend looming, as well as heightened uncertainty ahead of the Brexit vote, upside could be fairly limited.

Here’s more from OCBC:

Nevertheless, the STI should recoup some of yesterday’s 0.8% tumble and also make an assault on the key 100-DMA support-turned-resistance (now hovering around 2768).

As before, continued failure to convincingly sustain above this level could send the STI sliding back towards 2700 in the near term. Above 2768, we continue to peg the key hurdle at 2800.

Although overall volume tumbled 33%, with just 1.24b units traded, total value jumped 25% to S$1.06b; this after the average value/unit jumped 86% to S$0.82, as blue chips came under profit-taking pressure.

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.
