Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1%

What could be the implications?

According to OCBC, the pull-back by the US indices overnight and the weak Nikkei start (down 0.4% now) are likely to weigh on local sentiments this morning.

OCBC said that after a rather sharp 1% retreat yesterday, the STI is now hovering just above its 2-year vital uptrend support; should this uptrend line be violated, there could be further bearish implications thereafter.

Here's more from OCBC:

For now, the 3050-3070 gap zone is still likely to offer a firm immediate support to the index in the near term.

Beyond that, the subsequent base lies at the 3000 key psychological support. On the upside, 3120 is still the immediate support-turned-resistance, followed by the next hurdle at the 3160 level.

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.
