STI set for strong open

Thanks to the continued recovery by the US and European markets.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The continued recovery by the US and European markets last Friday are likely to cue the local bourse to another strong opening this morning; the Japanese market is closed for holiday today.

As a recap, the STI ended last Friday sharply higher following the bullish break above the 3040 resistance; after opening some 1% higher, the index climbed further to a 1.3% gain by the close on rather heavy trading volume.

And with today's tone likely to remain buoyant, we could see the index heading further north towards the 3090 resistance for a test.

Beyond that, the subsequent obstacle is pegged at the 3160 support-turned-resistance. On the downside, 3040 is now the newly established resistance-turned-support, with the next base lying at the 3005 minor troughs.

IG Markets Singapore meanwhile noted:

In Singapore today the futures market points towards a slightly firmer open for the STI this morning, as we look towards this week trading to see if this upward momentum can be maintained.

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.
