STI loses 0.5%

The index continued to head further south after a 0.3% lower opening on Wednesday, says OCBC Investment Research.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The mixed reactions on Wall Street overnight and the muted Nikkei start (flat now) are unlikely to provide any inspiration to the local this morning.

After failing a retest near the 3040 resistance on Tuesday, the STI continued to head further south yesterday; after a 0.3% lower opening, the index slipped to a 0.5% loss by the close.

With the 3000 psychological support being violated in the last session, we could see the index sliding further towards the 2980 support (minor troughs) today.

Below that, the next support level is pegged at the 2930 minor trough. On the upside, 3000 has now become the immediate psychological resistance, with the next obstacle pegged at the 3040 (support-turned-resistance).

IG Markets Singapore meanwhile noted:

Looking to the Singapore open we see an unsurprising flat start based on our pricing models. Catch up on some sleep as the fun will begin after 7pm Singapore time.

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.
