Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.6%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, the pullback on Wall Street overnight could continue to weigh on local sentiment, extending the STI's 0.6% pullback.

Here’s more from OCBC:

As before, we note that the STI does look ripe for a healthy correction, given the strong run-up over the previous five sessions; the overall market was also starting to look a tad overbought.

For now, we peg the immediate support around 2820, ahead of the key 2800 psychological level; on the upside, we peg the initial hurdle at 2880, ahead of the strong 2900 psychological level.

Overall volume was just over 1.1b units traded, while total value inched up slightly to S$935m, which also raises the average value/unit to around S$0.84; not surprising given that investors have moved to take profit on the recent strong gains in some of the blue chips.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
