Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.11%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, fresh weakness on Wall Street overnight could send more local investors heading for the exit, especially ahead of the key US jobs report due tonight; the Nikkei is already down 1.1% in early trade.

Here’s more from OCBC:

Even though the STI ended 1.1% lower yesterday, the continued failure to regain the initial 2850 level could send the index back towards 2800, breaking which, the next support is likely found at 2770 (23.6% retracement of the plunge from 3549 to 2528).

Meanwhile, there was also a 44% surge in volume traded; but average value/unit dropped back to S$0.53 from S$0.69 the previous session; not surprising as traders took profit on the recent penny plays.

Above 2850, we peg the key hurdle at 2900.

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.
