Daily Markets Briefing: STI up 2.68%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, driven by the 7% surge by the Nikkei yesterday, the STI also staged a strong 2.7% rebound; but with the Nikkei currently down nearly 1% on profit-taking, we could also see the same here.

As before, the STI has yet to convincingly sustain above the key 2600 level yet; hence we are likely to see the index make a test of this level today, OCBC said.

Here's more from OCBC:

As long as 2600 does not hold, the STI could still be on its way back towards 2500 over the next couple of sessions.

And with the local banks due to report their results this week (UOB results out this morning, with net earnings down 1.2% at S$3.21b), the overall tone could remain somewhat cautious as well.

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

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.
