Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.65%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, the pullback on Wall Street overnight could also lead to a similar move in the local bourse this morning; the Nikkei is flat in early trade.

Here’s more from OCBC:

Although the STI ended 0.7% higher yesterday, the price action has formed a potential toppish candlestick; and despite the heavier-than-usual volume/value, we further note that gains were mainly driven by several blue chips like Jardine Matheson, Jardine C&C and STE.

Hence, we could see the index making a test of the initial 2650 support once again; a break could send the STI easing back towards the key 2600 level.
On the upside, we peg the key resistance at 2700; although we may see a modest hurdle at 2684 (50-DMA).

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.
