Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.63%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, following the muted close on Wall Street last Friday, the local bourse may be due to take a pause as well, especially after the strong run over the past two weeks after Brexit.

Here's more from OCBC:

While the STI ended 0.6% higher last Friday, it may also be slightly distorted by the shortened trading session on Thursday; in any case, the price action may have formed a potential reversal signal, which could send the index back to re-test the key 2900 support

Although overall volume jumped 243% with 2.67b units traded and total value surged 327% to S$1.45b, while average value/unit rose 23% to S$0.54, much of it was distorted by Thursday’s session.

On the upside, we peg the next resistance at 2954, ahead of 2990; initial support at 2920, ahead of 2900.

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.
