Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.43%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, although Wall Street ended higher overnight, the lower US index futures have pared the gains by over 50%; this following a weak outlook from Apple.

Here’s more from OCBC:

As such, we expect local sentiment to remain mostly cautious, and even though we may get a technical rebound (as market has fallen back into the oversold region), we could see investors again adopting a “sell into strength” approach.

As before, the continued failure to retake the key 2600 level could send the index sliding back towards 2500; breaking which, 2424 beckons.

For now, we peg the initial support at 2521, ahead of the key 2500; above 2600, we peg the next hurdle at 2650, with the key hurdle remaining at 2700.

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.
