STI down 0.4%

Nikkei’s poor open and the retreat on Wall Street will not help.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The continued retreat on Wall Street overnight and the poor Nikkei start (down 0.8% now) are likely to cue the local bourse to a negative opening this morning.

Following the bearish technical signs displayed on Monday, the index continued to slip for the 2nd consecutive session yesterday and is now on the verge of breaching the 3200 psychological support.

And we could see this level being compromised as the index head for the next support at the 3150 key base.

On the upside, 3230 (key peaks) remains the immediate obstacle for now, as the subsequent key hurdle lies at the 3280 resistance (key peak in Jan ’11).

IG Markets Singapore meanwhile noted:

In Singapore yesterday the STI drifted 0.4% lower and could test the 3200 level today. For many traders, moving above 3200 was an artificial high with no real justification for breaking through this barrier.

This morning the futures market points to another relatively flat open for the STI, given the overnight leads that is hardly surprising.

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.
