Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.44%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, with Wall Street shut overnight and the US index futures drifting lower, the local market could struggle for direction this morning; but eyes will be on the China data due out this morning.

However, with market looking heavily oversold (the STI fell 11% over the last 12 sessions), it may be due for a technical rebound soon, OCBC said.

Here’s more from OCBC:

Having said that, the index may find it tough to make significant headways, given that near-term positive catalysts are few and far in between.

Once again, we think that selling into strength or unwinding stale longs could remain the focus for now, especially if the STI fails to retake the key 2600 level and it could then bring the next support at 2521 into play.

Above 2600, we peg the next resistance at 2640, then 2680, ahead of the key 2700 hurdle.

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.
