Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.2%

Brace for another decline today.

According to OCBC, sharply lower Wall Street close last Friday could weigh on local sentiment and see investors continuing to take profit on recent gains – note that the STI was down another 0.2% on Friday, extending Thursday’s 0.2% decline.

Here's more from OCBC:

However, note that the STI has rallied some 12.7% since 17 Oct to a recent 3549 high, hence a pullback is probably quite healthy; both the daily RSI and stochastic indicators still show the market as quite overbought.

For now, we peg the initial support at 3476 (38.2% retracement of recent run-up from 3357 to 3549), ahead of 3453 (50% retracement).

On the upside, 3538 (upper boundary of uptrend channel) is the first resistance, ahead of 3549.

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.
