The continued Wall Street weakness could mute gains today.

The Straits Times Index (STI) 84.09 or 2.69% lower at 3,047.39.

The FTSE ST Mid Cap Index crashed 17.04% whilst the FTSE Small Cap Index fell 9.54%.

The top active stocks were DBS which fell 0.64%, Singtel, which closed unchanged, OCBC which slipped 0.27%, UOB, which dipped 0.65%, and Genting Sing, with a 0.05% fall.

According to OCBC Investment Research, US stocks extended losses to finish lower, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average losing nearly 1,400 points over two days as investors continued to fret over rising bond yields and the prospect of higher interest rates.

All eleven S&P 500 industries ended lower. The worst performers were Energy (-3.09%) and Financials (-2.93%).

"Continued weakness on Wall Street overnight could cause investors to remain cautious today," OCBC Investment Research said.

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.
