Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.1%

Expect some good news today.

According to OCBC, the rebound on Wall Street Friday and the positive Nikkei start (+0.8% currently) should bring some relief to the local bourse this morning.

Here's more from OCBC:

Although the STI slipped 1.1% in the last session, we note that the index managed to close above the key 3300 psychological support; this despite the heavy selling pressure (value traded was 50% more than Thursday; losers outpaced gainers by >2 to 1).

Having said that, we could see profit-taking emerging at higher levels as sentiment may still stay somewhat cautious in view of the increased volatility/risk. Note that the US markets will also be closed tonight.

For now, we peg the most immediate hurdle around 3318 (30-DMA, 50-DMA), ahead of 3341 (Friday’s intraday high). Immediate support at 3296 (100-DMA), ahead of minor gap at 3252-3258.

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.
