Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.1%

Local sentiment is still fairly weak, says analyst.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The retreat by US stocks overnight and the weak Nikkei start (down 0.6% now) are likely to keep the local bourse on the back-foot this morning.

Despite recovering as much as 0.7% intraday yesterday, the STI still ended the day in the red (down 0.1%) subsequently; this suggests that local sentiment is still fairly weak at the moment.

And with today’s tone likely to turn more downside biased, the index could start slipping towards the 3070 key support again.

Should this key support be violated, we could see a quick retreat towards the next key support at the 3000 psychological level. Meanwhile, the immediate resistance is still pegged at the 3130 support-turned-resistance.

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.
