Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.1%

Index likely to slide towards 3322 mark.

According to OCBC Investment Research:

Renewed weakness on Wall Street is likely to weigh further on the already cautious local sentiment this morning; Nikkei now down as much as 2.8%.

As such, the STI, which closed 1.1% lower yesterday, could continue to slide towards 3322 (minor recent peaks) albeit with a minor speed bump around 3353 (lower Bollinger Band).

The formation of a near-term top and the daily technical indicators suggest that the bears have the upper hand; at least until the index can trigger a parabolic buy signal around 3457.

And if 3322 fails to hold, we may see a deeper pullback towards 3240.

On the upside, we peg the initial hurdle at the 3400 psychological 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.
