Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 2.53%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, although Wall Street recovered most of its early losses to end mostly flat overnight, the sharp sell-off over the long weekend in the global bourses could weigh heavily on local sentiment when the STI re-opens for trading this morning; this especially after the unexpectedly strong 2.5% surge last Friday.

Here’s more from OCBC:

As before, we are likely to see the index easing back to test the key 2600 resistance-turned-support, where a convincing break could rapidly send the STI sliding back towards 2521 in the near-term.

On the upside, we peg the next resistance at 2650 ahead of the strong 2700 hurdle.

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.
