Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.07%

Find out who the biggest losers were.

According to KGI Fraser, the STI (2918pts; -0.07%) was in consolidation mode last week, stemming further losses after the index broke the 3000 psychological support levels in previous sessions.

Despite a rebound in property counters, including Ascendas Reit ($2.29; +3.6% WoW) and CapitaLand ($3.13; +2.3% WoW), profit taking after a weak set of third quarter results saw commodities and O&G stocks being sold down, KGI Fraser said.

Here’s more from KGI Fraser:

On a week-on-week basis, stocks of Noble ($0.415; -6.7% WoW), Yangzijiang ($1.10; -4.8% WoW) and Sembcorp Marine ($2.14; -3.17% WoW; SELL TP $2.07) led the decliners.

With earnings season over and final third quarter GDP numbers to be released on Wednesday (25 Nov), trading activity may continue with situational plays, including NOL ($1.12; +8.7% WoW) that may potentially be sold to France's CMA CGM SA, the world's third largest container shipping company.

Newly listed Jumbo ($0.37; +12% WoW) was also heavily traded, closing almost 50% above its $0.25 IPO price. The negative market sentiments have taken a toll on the 10 Catalist IPOs this year, with six underwater and two relatively unchanged from their IPO prices.

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.
