Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.13%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, although Wall Street closed higher overnight, the overall tone in the local bourse could remain somewhat cautious when it reopens as per normal this morning; this after a technical glitch halted trade on the SGX for nearly six hours yesterday.

Here’s more from OCBC:

And with only less than three hours of trading done yesterday, overall volume plunged 73% with just 778.0m units done, while total value dropped 70% to S$339.3m, even as average value/unit rose 12% to S$0.44.

Nevertheless, we are still likely to see further near-term consolidation around the key 2900 level before the index pushes higher again; we peg 2885 and 2920 as the initial boundaries.

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.
