Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.2%

Expect another pullback today.

According to OCBC, the muted showing on Wall Street overnight could encourage further profit-taking in the local bourse today, extending the STI’s 0.2% pullback yesterday.

Here's more from OCBC:

Even though the daily MACD still looks pretty bullish, we note that the market looks heavily overbought (RSI around 75%, stochastic at 92%).

As such, we believe profit-taking on the STI’s 12.7% rally since 17 Oct is not only healthy but also necessary before we see further gains.

Furthermore, the index is already hitting the upper boundary of the uptrend channel since 17 Oct.

For now, we peg the initial support around 3458-3469 region (previous peaks), ahead of 3336 (lower Bollinger Band). Upside cap is around 3549.

Separately, local tech stocks could be under a bit of selling pressure after poor results from US chipmakers.

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.
