Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 2.65%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, the sharp retreat on Wall Street overnight is likely to weigh further on local sentiment; and news that China has suspended its circuit breakers is also likely to add to the uncertainty.

While the STI already looks oversold after the 2.7% plunge yesterday, we could still see more downside risk as fear has now entered into the market; the STI is also expected to take the cue from how the Chinese markets perform later, OCBC said.

Here’s more from OCBC:

With the breaking of the key 2740 support yesterday, the next few supports at 2700, 2680 or even 2643 may be called into play.

Much firmer supports are expected around 2600 and 2521.

On the upside, we peg the immediate hurdle at 2740, ahead of 2800.

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.
