Markets Briefing: STI up 0.2%

The index is likely to remain locked in a tight trading range.

IG Markets Singapore noted:

In Singapore, the STI lifted 0.2% yesterday to move up to 3288 as it again flirts with the 3300 level.

This morning we are pricing another flat open for the local blue chip index.

Meanwhile, OCBC Investment Research said:

With Wall Street closed overnight, the STI is likely to remain locked in a tight trading range again today.

While the STI added 0.2% yesterday, the daily indicators suggest that the market still looks slightly overbought and a technical pullback may be in the making.

For a start, we could see the STI easing to 3258 (38.2% retracement of the 3160-3319 rally), while a larger pullback could bring the index back to 3171 (38.2% retracement of the 2931-3319 rally).

On the upside, 3300 remains the initial hurdle, ahead of 3319.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
