Profit taking dominates KLCI

More sell-off based on further risk aversion is expected, says OCBC.

OCBC Treasury Research noted:

Profit taking continued to dominate the KLCI on Wednesday as concerns over the state of the global economy resurfaced in the market. With S&P downgrading Spain’s credit rating, expect more sell-off based on further risk aversion intra-day, especially since we expect little to cheer from the August IPI data due later today. Meanwhile, ING Group has announced the EUR 1.3bn sale of its insurance business in Malaysia to AIA.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
