Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.43%

Find out who the biggest losers were.

According to KGI Fraser, Asian markets rallied as the Brexit referendum looms closer. This came a day after the murder of a British MP, who was a strong advocate of the ‘stay’ vote.

This event likely caused investors to reassess the possible effect it will have on voting intentions come 23 June. Japan’s Nikkei 225 gained 1.1% as the yen halted its rally, China’s CSI 300 rose 0.5% and Hong Kong’s HSI increased by 0.7%, KGI Fraser said.

Here’s more from KGI Fraser:

The STI in Singapore was lifted by 11.86 points or 0.4% too, and closed at 2,763.42, after taking a week of beating.

HongKong Land (+1.7%), AREIT (+2.6%) and Hutchinson Port Holdings Trust (+3.4%) were the key movers in the index.

Golden Agri (-1.4%), UOB (-0.2%) and DBS (-0.1%) were the key index shakers. Surprisingly, OCBC gained 0.1% despite seeing the other two banks moving in the opposite direction.

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.
