Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.83%

Expect modest gains today.

According to OCBC, gains on Wall Street overnight should bring a much need sense of relief to the local bourse this morning, although overall tone is likely to remain cautious, given the continued uncertainty over crude oil prices.

Still, after a six-day losing streak, with the index down another 0.8% Friday, the STI does look due for a technical correction, even though the daily RSI is still some way from showing oversold signals.

Here’s more from OCBC:

Overall volume slipped 25% to 1.2b units traded; but average value/unit jumped 48% to S$0.96, mainly due to the sell-down in local banks; but we can expect to see some rebound, aided by DBS’ in-line 1Q16 results.

But until the STI can regain the uptrend line support-turned-resistance (now sitting around 2885), we could see further near-term weakness; and this could bring the key 2800 support back into play.

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.
