STI sees lackluster performance

The index hardly moved, failing to make any significant headway after opening some 0.4% lower on Monday.

OCBC Investment Research said:

With the US market closed overnight, the local bourse is likely to take cue from the poor Nikkei start (down 0.4% now) and open in the negative territory this morning.

As a recap, the STI continued to see lackluster performance yesterday on low trading volume; the index opened some 0.4% lower and failed to make any significant headway thereafter. By the close, the index was still about 0.3% in the red.

For now, the index is still likely to swing between the 3000 psychological base and the 3040 support-turned-resistance.

Beyond these levels, the subsequent obstacle still lies at the 3090 resistance (recent peaks) with the next support level pegged at the 2980 troughs.

IG Markets Singapore meanwhile noted:

In Singapore, the STI was lacklustre yesterday as it hardly moved. The Friday rally it enjoyed ahead of Jackson Hole wasn’t undone yesterday, another signal that local traders believe QE3 is a case of when not if.

The futures market points to a flat open for the STI this morning.

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.
