Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.02%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, despite the late rebound, the muted closings on Wall Street overnight could weigh further on local sentiment; the Nikkei is around 0.9% lower in early trade.

As previously noted, the ability of the STI to convincingly sustain above 2600 is key to a stronger rebound; while the index managed to hold above this level yesterday, it may attempt to test it again today.

Here’s more from OCBC:

If it does not hold, we see a risk of the STI slipping back towards 2521 for a start; but a much firmer support can only be found around 2424.

On the upside, we peg 2650 as the initial resistance ahead of the key 2700 level.

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.
