Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 1.2%

Index likely to open higher, says analyst.

OCBC Investment Research noted:

The muted reactions by the US stocks overnight are unlikely to provide any cues to the local bourse this morning.

And with the STI having already registered a significant 1.2% gain yesterday, the market could see some profit-taking if the index cannot convincingly clear the 3,330 key immediate hurdle soon.

Nevertheless, the daily MACD has just initiated a bullish crossover; this suggests that the upside momentum is picking up as well.

On the downside, the immediate support is still pegged at the 3,265 recent trough, followed by the next base at the 3,240 key resistance-turned-support.

Meanwhile, IG Markets Singapore said:

In Singapore, we continue to see a strong upward trend despite recent range bound trading. We expect the STI to open up stronger.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
