Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.56%

But expect some support to the local bourse this morning.

According to SGX, the Straits Times Index (STI) ended 16.24 points or 0.56% lower to 2869.47, taking the year-to-date performance to -0.46%.

According to OCBC, as Wall Street recorded generally modest gains, this could provide some support to the local bourse this morning, but local sentiments may remain fairly cautious.

"The STI had failed to clear the key 2880 level convincingly in the previous session. We could see it head back up towards this level, while we continue to keep 2845 as our immediate support. Overall volume rose 8% with 1.9b units traded, and the total value jumped 25% to S$1.1b; while average value/unit was up 16% to S$0.58," OCBC adds.

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.
