Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.39%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, Wall Street staged a pretty decent rebound overnight after the Fed held rates unchanged; but US index futures have pared gains somewhat, suggesting that the overall tone is likely to remain cautious.

·As expected, the STI eased further yesterday, falling 0.4% to close below the key 3049 level (38.2% retracement of the fall from 3549 to 2740), OCBC said. 

Here's more from OCBC:

While the STI is likely to make an attempt to regain this level, a lot hinges on the ability of the index to sustain itself above that.

If it does not do so, we are still likely to see a deeper correction to 3000 or even 2900.

Above 3049, we note of a minor hurdle at 3065 before the key 3100 level.

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.
