Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.6%

Short-term selling pressure likely to build up today.

According to OCBC Investment Research:

The poor Nikkei start (down 0.3% now) could cue the local bourse to a negative opening this morning.

And with the STI already nearing the 3260 key support-turned-resistance yesterday after a 0.6% gain; we could see short-term selling pressure building up today.

Despite so, the medium-term upside remains intact; as long as the 1-month uptrend support continues to hold, the index is still more likely to overcome this 3260 obstacle in the days ahead.

Beyond that, the next hurdle is pegged at the 3320 support-turned-resistance. On the downside, 3200 is still the immediate support, with the subsequent base lying at the 3130 minor troughs.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
