OCBC Investment Research:

The continued recovery on Wall Street last Friday night could keep the local bourse fairly buoyant this morning.

Despite so, we note that the STI is already nearing its key 1-month downtrend resistance at the moment after its recent strong rebound; a correction could come in any time now.

For now, we still see the immediate resistance at the 3070 minor peak, with the subsequent hurdle pegged at the 3120 support-turned-resistance.

On the downside, 3030 is still the immediate resistance-turned-support, with the next base lying at the 3000 psychological support.

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.
