Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.09%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, renewed weakness on Wall Street last Friday is likely to weigh further on local sentiment this morning; the Nikkei has opened 1.3% lower.

Here’s more from OCBC:

Although the STI ended just 0.1% lower last Friday, and also off its intraday low, we note that the average value per unit traded has jumped to above S$1; this suggesting that the interest on penny stocks may also be fading.

As before, the inability to sustain itself above the key 3000 level does not bode well; we already note of the earlier failure to stay above the key 3049 level (38.2% retracement of the fall from 3549 to 2740).

On the downside, we peg the initial support at 2950, ahead of 2900.

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.
