Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.2%

Today’s tone likely to remain downside biased.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The pull-back by US stocks overnight could dent local sentiments further this morning.

Despite rallying as much as 0.8% intraday yesterday, the STI sunk to 0.2% loss instead by the close; this suggests investors are still very cautious about the current market outlook.

With today’s tone likely to remain a tad more downside biased, we could see the 3200 resistance-turned-support being tested. Should this base give way, the index will likely pull back further towards the 3155 minor trough.

On the upside, 3235 is now the immediate resistance (yesterday’s high), followed by the next hurdle at the 3260 key peaks.

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.
