Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.7%

Index headed to a positive opening, says analyst.

OCBC Investment Research said:

With US index futures heading higher after Ben Bernanke’s overnight comments, the local bourse is likely to take cue with a positive opening this morning.

Even so, any potential upside could be limited as the index has already started to show signs of violating its 1-month uptrend support with a 0.7% correction yesterday.

For now, we continue to see the key support at the 3200 psychological base; the next support lies at the 3130 troughs.

On the upside, 3280 is still the immediate obstacle, followed by the next hurdle at the 3320 support-turned-resistance.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
