Daily Markets Briefing: STI opens higher

Today might bring even better news.

The Straits Times Index opened 9.02 points higher on Monday. According to OCBC, the continued recovery by the US indices last Friday night is likely to keep the local bourse fairly buoyant this morning.

Here’s more:

US equities rallied further into record territory Friday after a solid jobs report, leaving the S&P 500 and Dow industrials with their strongest weekly performances since mid-April.

As such, we could see the STI (recovered some 0.6% in the last session) continuing its push towards the 3330 immediate resistance today.

Above that, the next hurdle lies at the 3360-3370 key gap zone. On the downside, we still see the immediate base at 3280 resistance-turned-support, followed by the subsequent support at the 3220 key trough

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.
