Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.24%

Don't expect gains today.

The Straits Times Index (STI) ended 38.08 or 1.24% lower at 3,026.99.

The top active stocks were OCBC, which fell 0.28%, DBS, which slipped 0.30%, Singtel, which dipped 0.01%, Best World, which slipped 0.23%, and UOB, with a 0.40% fall.

The FTSE Mid Cap fell 2.59% whilst the FTSE Small Cap dipped 1.27%.

According to OCBC Investment Research (OIR), US stocks closed sharply lower, extending a pre-Thanksgiving rout that has been fueled mostly by a selling in shares of technology and internet-related companies but has now spread to ensnare the broader market.

All eleven S&P 500 industries ended lower, with Energy (-3.29%) and Consumer Discretionary (-2.18%) leading the declines.

"The continued weakness on Wall Street overnight is likely to weigh further on local sentiment today," OIR 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.
