Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.4%

Expect a pullback today.

According OCBC, with Wall Street again ending mixed overnight, the STI could re-open lower this morning; the local bourse was shut yesterday and most Asian indexes ended mostly lower.

Here’s more from OCBC:

As before, the inability to convincingly hold above the key 3000 level does not bode well for the market in the near-term; we could see an attempt to retake that level today, but the daily technical indicators are starting to look more negative.

And with the earnings season coming to a close this Friday, the dearth of corporate newsflow could also keep investors sidelined, especially ahead of a possible US rate hike in Dec.

We peg the initial support at 2950, ahead of 2900. On the upside, the next resistance above 3000 is 3049.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
