Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.67%

Expect some losses today.

According to OCBC, the pullback on Wall Street overnight as well as the sharp drop in crude futures could weigh further on local sentiment this morning; the Nikkei is down 1.1% in early trade.

As expected, once the STI broke the key 2800 support, the sell-off was pretty rapid, resulting in the index closing 1.6% lower. Market breath has also turned a tad more negative, with losers outpacing gainers nearly 2.2 to 1.

Here’s more from OCBC:

And with the index unlikely to retake that support-turned-resistance level today, we could see it easing further towards 2700; but note that it could over-shoot on the downside as there is a gap around 2682-2713 that needs to be filled before we can see a firmer rebound.

Above 2800, we peg the next resistance at 2850.

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.
