Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.2%

Medium-term decline looms in the horizon.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The more than 2% plunge by the US indices overnight is likely to spook the local bourse to another round of significant losses this morning.

After a 1.2% correction yesterday, the STI has now violated both its 2-year uptrend support and 3000 key psychological support; this could be the start of a more substantial medium-term decline.

And with today’s tone likely to deteriorate further, we could see the index sliding towards the 2940 immediate support (key trough) next.

Should this base give way, the next support lies at the 2900 psychological level. On the upside, 3000 is now the immediate support-turned-resistance, with the next hurdle at the 3030 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.
