Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.37%

Expect modest gains today.

According to OCBC, the rebound on Wall Street overnight should provide more cheer to the local bourse this morning and keep the STI’s rebound going, potentially heading for a test of the key 2850 hurdle once again.

The price action yesterday, where the STI reversed early losses to end 0.4% higher, suggests that a near-term bottom may have been reached; in addition, it is the second straight session where the STI has managed to close above the key 2800 support.

Here’s more from OCBC:

As such, we should see slightly more confident buying interest emerging, as well as the closing of short positions; however, we may see profit-taking emerging again if the index fails to convincingly clear the 2850 barrier.

While market volume slipped around 11% yesterday, average value/unit remained relatively stable at S$0.68; we expect banks, major O&G names to come back into play today.

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.
