Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.5%

Today’s tone likely to remain downside biased.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The significant retreat by the US indices overnight could spook the local bourse to a negative opening this morning.

Meanwhile, the STI slipped for the second consecutive session yesterday with a 0.5% loss; this suggests that the downside momentum is indeed building up.

And with today’s tone likely to remain downside biased, we could see the index declining further towards the 3070 trough for a test next.

Beyond that, the next support lies at the 3030 resistance-turned-support. On the upside, the 3140 level (recent peak) is still the immediate resistance, as the subsequent hurdle lies at the 3190 key peak.

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.
