Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.4%

Analyst predicts an intial 0.3% lift.

IG Markets Singapore said:

In Singapore, the STI continues yo-yoing above and below the 3300 mark. Yesterday it dropped 0.4% to hit 3288 but today may make another push for the 3300 line.

We are pricing for an initial lift of 0.3% which for the STI this morning, which would take us tantalisingly close to that 3300 mark once again. Local sentiment may be boosted by Singapore retaining its AAA rating from Fitch and the thoughts of the F1 IPO being back on the table.

Meanwhile, OCBC Investment Research noted:

With the STI pulling back more than 0.4% yesterday, it further reinforces the point that 3320 is a vital obstacle for now; the index will need to overcome this key level before we can see any significant recovery.

And with today’s tone unlikely to see any significant changes, we could see the index consolidating around current levels.

The immediate support is still marked at the 3230 key resistance-turned-support, with the next support pegged at the 3200 psychological level. Above the firm 3320 resistance, the subsequent resistance lies at the 3400 psychological hurdle.

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.
