Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.2%

Will today's tone improve?

OCBC Investment Research said:

The lackluster performance by the US indices overnight is likely to keep the local bourse on the back-foot this morning.

Meanwhile, local investors were clearly feeling wary about the market; despite a 0.6% intraday rally yesterday, the STI sunk to a 0.2% loss by the close instead.

And with today’s tone unlikely to see any significant improvements, we could see the index drifting around current levels with the immediate obstacle marked at the 3000 psychological resistance.

Above that, the next obstacle lies at the 3030 support-turned-resistance. On the downside, the immediate base is still pegged at the 2940 key trough, followed by the 2900 psychological support.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
