Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.5%

Brace for another pullback today.

According to OCBC, the STI ended down 1.5% Friday on profit-taking; and with the dismal showing on Wall Street last Friday night, we would continue to see the index easing further towards the key 2800 level.

Here's more from OCBC:

We note that today is the start of the 1-week school holiday and with market also shut due to Polling Day this Friday, overall market interest could be on the thin side.

Meanwhile, China will re-open after a 2-day break; any adverse movement there is also likely to influence the sentiment here; this adding to the already cautious mood over US interest rates.

And on the downside, we peg the next support at 2800; but note that the index could trigger a parabolic sell signal if it dips below 2820.

On the upside, 2900 is the initial resistance, ahead of the key 3000 level.

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.
