Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.5%

Analyst predicts a deeper pullback towards 3160.

OCBC Investment Research said:

Renewed weakness on Wall Street overnight could send the local bourse down further today as investors lighten up positions ahead of the long weekend. Note that the Nikkei is already down 2.2% in early trade.

The STI, down another 0.5% after the previous session’s 0.4% slide, also triggered the parabolic sell signal yesterday.

As such, we could see a deeper pullback towards 3160 (mid Jan low) if 3200 gives way. Another important level to watch is 3135 – the 61.8% retracement of the 2931-3464 rally.

On the upside, 3239 (early Mar low) is likely to be the initial hurdle ahead of 3300; although there is a parabolic buy signal trigger at 3277.

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.
