Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.5%

Today’s tone likely to turn downside biased, says analyst.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The pullback by both the US indices overnight and the Nikkei index (down 1.7% now) could dent local sentiments this morning.

As a recap, the STI failed in its attempt to conquer the 3230 key support-turned-resistance yesterday, and ended with a 0.5% retreat instead; clearly, investors are still very cautious about the market outlook.

And with today’s tone likely to turn downside biased, we could see the index pulling back further in the direction of the 3160 immediate resistance-turned-support.

Meanwhile, the next base lies at the 3100 key trough. On the upside, 3320 remains the subsequent key hurdle to overcome.

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.
