Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.16%

Expect more gains today.

According to OCBC, continued strength on Wall Street overnight should keep local sentiment modestly upbeat, potentially extending the STI’s 0.2% gains yesterday.

Here’s more from OCBC:

Still, the ability of the index to sustain itself convincingly remains crucial – failure to do so could see it slipping back towards the initial support at 2770.

But with the Jun holidays upon us, chances are the STI will continue to range within a pretty narrow band, probably between 2770 and 2820 in the near term.

Meanwhile, overall volume was down 4% with 1.5b units traded, and average value/unit slipped 26% to S$0.51; this as micro-penny stocks continue to hog the spotlight – Cedar Strategic jumped 50% to 0.03c with 441m shares traded.

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.
