Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.76%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, the rebound on Wall Street overnight should provide some reprieve to the oversold local market this morning, especially after the STI’s near-2% tumble yesterday; the Nikkei has rebounded about 1.8% in early trade.

Here’s more from OCBC:

However, with the daily MACD still looking pretty negative, we think that the market is more than likely to use the technical rebound to unwind stale longs or sell into strength; we think the trigger to sell will come if the STI fails to make any significant headway against the key 2700 hurdle.

For now, we continue to peg the initial support at 2643; though tested yesterday, it managed to hold. But we suspect more convincing bargain hunting interest is only likely to emerge closer to 2600.

Above 2700, the next hurdle lies at 2740.

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.
