STI set for firm open

Japanese, Australian, and Korean markets have all opened higher on 16 October 2012.

OCBC Investment Research said:

Rebound on Wall Street and the more positive Nikkei start (now +0.9%) could also spark a similar recovery in the local bourse today. However, given the lackluster interest of late, the STI may find it hard to clear the 3100 hurdle in the near term.

As such, investors may continue to sell into strength should the index fail to make further headway; note that the STI recently triggered a parabolic sell signal. On the downside, we peg the initial support at 3030 (lower Bollinger band), ahead of 3000.

IG Markets Singapore meanwhile noted:

The futures market is pointing to a firm open for the STI this morning. Japanese, Australian and Korean markets have all opened higher this morning.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
