Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.5%

Initial support pegged at 3135.

OCBC Investment Research said:

Losses on Wall Street overnight are likely to dampen local sentiment further this morning, possibly extending the STI’s 2-day 1.5% slide.

Nevertheless, we expect the initial support at 3135 (61.8% retracement of 2931-3464 rally) to hold for now, given that the market has been quite oversold over the past few sessions.

However, any technical rebound may just be a “dead cat bounce”, and many are likely to use it to unwind stale long positions.

As such, it looks unlikely that the STI will be able to retake the key support-turned-resistance provided by the 1-year uptrend line (currently around 3210).

And should the 3135 support give way, we could see a deeper pullback towards 2991 (61.8% retracement of 2698-3464 rally).

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.
