Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.4%

But risks are still in the firing line.

OCBC Investment Research noted:

Despite registering another 0.4% gain and overcoming the 3300 psychological level yesterday, the STI is still short of testing the strong resistance at 3315 (key peaks).

And with today’s tone likely to deteriorate, we could see the index reversing back south in the direction of the 3260 minor trough again.
Below that, the subsequent vital support still lies at the 3230 key resistance-turned-support. Meanwhile, we see secondary resistance at the 3400 psychological hurdle.

Meanwhile, IG Markets Singapore said:

The STI lifted 0.4% to break back above 3300 points. But all risk assets are in the firing line when their main catalyst for so long, QE3, threatens to be taken away.

Commodities were the worst performers, taking it from all sides as QE prospects were reduced and reports of a significant commodity fund winding up long positions put huge pressure on price.

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.
