Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.37%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, fresh weakness on Wall Street overnight could continue to keep local sentiment fairly cautious ahead of the FOMC meeting; although market does not expect the Fed to make any move just yet, market will be looking out for clues on when the next rate hike could take place.

Here’s more from OCBC:

While the STI extended its losses, slipping another 1.4% yesterday, it still managed to hold above the key 2900 support; we note that the overall volume has also fallen nearly 29% to 1.1b units traded, suggesting the sell-down was pretty contained.

After the recent correction, we expect the index to consolidate around this key level and range trade between 2868 and 2919 for now.

Key support remains at 2800; key resistance at 3000.

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.
