Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.7%

Expect modest gains today.

According to OCBC, the mostly positive closing on Wall Street overnight and the slightly firmer US index futures could provide a much needed boost to the local bourse this morning; the Nikkei is up 1.1% in early trade.

With the STI down another 0.7% yesterday on a 4-day losing streak, it does look due for a technical rebound soon; we note that the index is probably also going to get a much firmer support from the uptrend line (currently around 2867).

Here’s more from OCBC:

However, as the daily MACD has just cut down, the overall tone could remain fairly cautious, and limit the extent of the rebound.

Hence it may find it tough to convincingly clear the key 2900 hurdle just yet; below 2867, we peg the next support at 2843.

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.
