Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.21%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, given the lack of cues with Wall Street shut overnight, the STI is likely to continue to drift sideways today, trading around the 2800 key level.

Here's more from OCBC:

Once again, if the index fails to convincingly stay above the 2800 handle, we could see a deeper pullback towards 2770, breaking which, the STI could slip further towards 2740.

On the upside, we peg the next hurdle at 2820 and then 2850.

Volume of STI stocks inched up 7% to 834.5m units traded, but average value/unit slipped 38% to S$0.72; this probably reflecting the start of the month-long school holidays, as well as the US market holiday.

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.
