Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.9%

Analyst predicts a poor opening today.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The sharp retreat on Wall Street overnight and the weak Nikkei start (down 1.3% now) are likely to spook the local bourse to a poor opening this morning.

Following a near 0.9% slip yesterday, the STI looks set to crack the lower boundary of its trading range at the 3200 psychological support today.

Meanwhile, the MACD has also initiated a sudden reversal downwards yesterday; this suggests that the downside momentum is picking up strength now.

Should the bearish break materialize, the index will likely head to the next base at the 3130 minor troughs.

On the upside, we still see the 3280 recent peak as the immediate obstacle, with the subsequent hurdle pegged at the 3320 support-turned-resistance.

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.
