Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.5%

Expect modest gains today.

According to OCBC, while continued gains on Wall Street overnight should keep local sentiment fairly upbeat, the STI may be due for a healthy technical correction soon, especially after the string of gains over the past five sessions.

Recent price action also points towards a potential reversal, although daily MACD is still looking pretty positive.

As before, we could start to see some healthy profit-taking should the index fails to clear the immediate 2885 hurdle, or fails to sustain itself above the immediate 2843 support.

Overall volume was flat with 2.09b units done, although total value improved 10% to S$1.09b, average value/unit remained relatively flat at S$0.52; not surprising as penny plays continued to hog the lime-light, especially those previously-battered second-liners O&G plays.

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.
