STI up 0.1%

Stock markets took on a cautious tone, says IG Markets Singapore.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The muted reactions on Wall Street overnight are unlikely to provide any significant cues to the local bourse this morning.

Meanwhile, the STI recovered as much as 0.4% yesterday and touched the 3280 resistance briefly. But it failed to hold on to the gains and instead, retraced back to just a 0.1% gain by the close.

This could set the stage for a consolidation around current levels today with the immediate obstacle still marked at the 3280 key peak and the subsequent obstacle pegged at the 3300 psychological resistance.

On the downside, 3230 is still the firm resistance-turned-support, ahead of the 3200 psychological support.

IG Markets Singapore meanwhile noted:

The STI crept up 0.1% yesterday, but it is making a slow and steady push towards another key milestone of 3300 points.

On the futures market, prices point to a +0.1% open for the STI today.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
