STI to edge up slightly

As companies begin the reporting season, US equities were bolstered by 4Q earnings optimism.

On 10 January 2012, OCBC Investment Research said:

The STI, which fell 0.9% yesterday on profit-taking following the 3.3% rebound in the previous week, should edge up slightly this morning.

But near-term gains are still likely to be capped around 2733 (50-day moving average, also close to 100-DMA at 2737), given that the daily RSI has turned a tad more bearish.

As before, the STI needs to show that it can sustain itself above 2700 before confidence can return.

On the downside, we peg the initial support at 2670 (downtrend line resistance-turned-support), ahead of 2617 (lower Bollinger band).

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.
