Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 1.7%

Expect a pullback today.

According to OCBC, although Wall Street eked out some more modest gains overnight, US index futures have turned lower, suggesting that profit-taking interest may be emerging.

Here's more from OCBC:

Likewise for the STI, we could see some interest to take profit should the index fail to clear the next hurdle at 2740; we note that the gap up/price action yesterday has also formed a potential reversal signal.

As such, we could see the index easing back to test the key 2700 level, and should this support hold up, we should see more confident buying interest; otherwise, the STI could resume its slide back to 2600.

Above 2740, we peg the next key hurdle at 2800.

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.
