STI set for flat or even negative open

The index is having trouble overcoming the 3067 near-term resistance.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The correction on Wall Street overnight is likely to spook the local bourse to a negative opening this morning.

Despite registering a 0.5% gain yesterday, the STI still seems to be having problems overcoming the 3067 near-term resistance for now.

And with today’s tone likely to turn more pessimistic, we could see the index reversing south again in the direction of the 3022 immediate support (recent trough).

Below that, the next base lies at the 3000 psychological support. On the upside, the immediate obstacle is still pegged at the 3067 recent peak, with the subsequent resistance marked at the 3100 psychological obstacle.

IG Markets Singapore meanwhile noted:

Focus today will continue on Europe and the second day of the summit in Brussels, though general expectations remain for little to change following its conclusion.

This morning we are pricing a flat open for Singapore.

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.
