Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.73%

Brace for profit-taking today.

According to OCBC, continued mixed showing on Wall Street overnight could cut short the STI's 0.8% technical rebound yesterday and bring about profit-taking once again, especially if the index fails to clear the key 2900 support-turned-resistance level.

Here’s more from OCBC:

With the daily MACD still sliding towards the centre line after the recent cut down and the RSI just falling past the 50% mark, the near-term outlook remains somewhat negative.

As such, we could still see the index easing back towards 2850 or even 2800 if it fails to punch through 2900; but a break could see it heading back towards 2950.

Overall volume improved 9% to 1.75b units traded, but total value eased 8% to S$1.40b, as average value/unit fell 16% to S$0.80.

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.
