Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.46%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, although the STI made a surprising recovery yesterday, where it reversed early losses to close 0.5% higher, the mixed closing on Wall Street overnight as well as the usual caution ahead of the weekend could limit further gains today.

Here’s more from OCBC:

Instead, we could see some profit-taking if the STI fails to clear the key 100-DMA support-turned-resistance (now hovering around 2760) once again; it has not been in its previous three attempts.

Although overall volume improved 27% to 1.8b units traded, average value/unit tumbled 40% to S$0.47, suggesting that the spotlight has moved back to the second liners.

Above 2760, we peg the next key hurdle at 2800; on the downside, we peg the key support at 2700, ahead of 2680.

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.
