Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 0.89%

Expect modest gains today.

According to OCBC, with Wall Street posting further gains overnight, the local sentiment should remain fairly upbeat; but further strong gains are likely limited from here.

Here’s more from OCBC:

Although the STI managed to close above the key 2900 psychological level, the index has added over 7.3% since 28 Jun; daily RSI is also fast approaching the overbought region.

Furthermore, while overall volume surged 60% on 2.46b units traded, total value only inched up 18% to S$1.11b, as average value/unit slipped 26% to S$0.46; this led by strong interest in Noble and its rights.

As such, we could start to see some near-term consolidation around the key 2900 level before the index pushes higher again; we peg 2885 and 2920 as the initial boundaries.

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.
