Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.6%

Expect more losses today.

According to OCBC, the continued weakness of Wall Street overnight due to caution ahead of the US FOMC meeting (16-17 Sep) is likely to keep local investors on the sidelines as well; the STI ended 0.6% lower yesterday, pretty much ignoring the strong mandate for the PAP after last Friday’s poll.

Here's more from OCBC:

And as the local sentiment continues to remain quite muted, it would be tough for the STI to clear the key 2900 hurdle in the near term.

Instead, we could see the index making a slow grind down to 2800 region, breaking which, the next key support would be found only around 2600.

While we peg the next hurdle at 2950, 3000 remains the main hurdle to clear.

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.
