Daily Markets Briefing: STI likely to drop 1%

Analyst predicts index to consolidate and drift sideways.

IG Markets Singapore noted:

As such, the STI which ended just 0.2% higher in the last session could consolidate and drift sideways just below the key 3320 key resistance for today.

OCBC Investment Research said:

In Singapore the STI flirted with 3300 on Friday and once again failed to close above that mark, settling for the weekend at 3286 a gain of 0.6% for the session.

We are likely to see all those gains eradicated and potentially much more as broad equity sell off seems to be the order of the day in Asia. We are currently pricing a 1% fall for the STI at our open, in line with move seen in Asia and for US futures in initial trade, which means we will open around 3250.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
