STI set for positive open

The index is likely to attempt a break of the 3088 key peaks.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The continued recovery on Wall Street overnight and the positive Nikkei index (up 0.5% now) could inspire the local bourse to an optimistic start this morning.

As a recap, the STI inched nearer to the 3088 key obstacle yesterday; following a 0.1% higher opening, the index added 0.3% by the close.

And with today's tone likely to remain buoyant, we could potentially see the STI attempting a break of the 3088 key peaks again.

Beyond that, the next hurdle is still pegged at the 3100 psychological resistance. On the downside, the immediate base still lies at the 3040 resistance-turned-support, followed by the subsequent support at the 3000 psychological level.

IG Markets Singapore meanwhile noted:

On the local front ST Engineering could be in focus after it announced that its electronic division had won S$160million worth of contracts in the third quarter.

The STI is looking forward to a positive open, as has been the way for most of Asia so far this Friday.

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.
