Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.3%

Index unlikely to push back close to 3300 today.

IG Markets Singapore noted:

On the local market, the STI crept up 0.3% as it maintains a slow and steady rise this year, gaining 2.5% so far this year.

For the STI this morning we are pricing in a 0.6% gain at the open, but it seems unlikely there will be the momentum or conviction to push back close to 3300 in today’s session.

Meanwhile, OCBC Investments Research said:

We note that there is still some caution in the market; even though the STI closed 0.3% higher yesterday, it was well off early highs, and the index also failed to test the initial 3258 resistance (38.2% retracement of 3160-3319 rally).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
