Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.04%

Find out which firms underperformed.

According to KGI Fraser, The STI in Singapore gapped-up at the start of the session, taking cue from the strong U.S. closing the night before, but trended down throughout the rest of the session to close only marginally higher by 1.05 points (or +0.04%), at 2,916.78.

Here’s more from KGI Fraser:

The biggest influencers propping up the index were, Singtel (+0.8%) ComfortDelGro (+1.7%) and UOB (+0.4%, HOLD, TP: S$20.88).

On the other hand, stocks that dragged the index down include, DBS (-0.4%; BUY, TP: S$20.38), SIA (-1.3%) and Noble Group (-3.5%).

The sell-down in Noble Group gained steam following comments from Moody’s that it is reviewing Noble’s investment grade credit rating, following its weak set of results.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options 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. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
