Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.52%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, the recovery on Wall Street overnight could continue to lift local sentiment; the Nikkei has rebounded 0.6% in early trade.

However, with the US index futures turning lower, further strong gains for the STI may be unlikely, given that the index was already up 0.6% yesterday; and then, there is the weekend factor, OCBC said.

Here’s more from OCBC:

As before, a convincing breach of the 2600 hurdle is key to a sustained recovery; failure to do so could send the index back towards 2500.

But we sense that the overall sentiment remains cautious; despite the gains yesterday, there were more losers than gainers.

Above 2600, the next resistance is at 2650.

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.
