Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.38%

The local bourse is off to a muted start today.

The Straits Times Index (STI) ended 12.29 points or 0.38% lower to 3211.17 on Tuesday, taking the year-to-date performance to +11.47%.

The top active stocks yesterday were Singtel, which declined 0.26%, DBS, which gained 0.19%, Global Logistic, which declined 1.05%, OCBC Bank, which declined 1.03% and UOB, with a 0.65% fall.

OCBC Investment Research noted that the US stock market was closed due to Independence day.

As such, European stocks edged lower Tuesday, with the region’s benchmark pulling back from its biggest rally in two months, as North Korea’s latest missile launch dented appetite for risk.

"With Wall Street closed last night, the local bourse could get off to a muted start," the brokerage firm said.

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.
