STI set for weak open

A negative knee-jerk reaction in the local market is expected.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The sharp retreat on Wall Street overnight and the poor Nikkei start (down 0.7% now) are likely to cause a negative knee-jerk reaction in the local market this morning.

Despite managing a modest gain of 0.2% at the close yesterday, the index could face a significant selling pressure today, with the 3020 immediate support potentially losing its ground.

The subsequent support is still pegged at the 3000 psychological support.

On the upside, we still see the immediate obstacle at the 3065 support-turned-resistance, while the next key resistance is pegged at the 3100 psychological resistance.

IG Markets Singapore meanwhile noted:

In Singapore today we expect the Fraser & Neave saga to rumble on, perhaps with one of OUE’s strategic partners or the banks who will be fronting up loans revealed.

The futures market points to a weak open for the STI as a bearish cold wind blows in from the West.

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.
