Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 2.6%

Expect some profit-taking today.

According to OCBC, strong gains on Wall Street Friday could continue to keep local sentiment fairly upbeat this morning; the Nikkei is up another 1.4% in early trade.

Here's more from OCBC:

However, given that the STI has already jumped 2.6% last Friday, further strong gains may be limited; instead, we could see some profit-taking emerging as the index nears the key 2700 hurdle.

For now, we peg the immediate support at 2600; while daily technical have turned more positive, the market may need to be convinced that this level can hold before we see stronger buying interest once again.

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.
