Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.7%

Will today’s tone remain more downside biased?

OCBC Investment Research said:

The further retreat on Wall Street overnight and the poor Nikkei start (down 0.9% now) could cue the local bourse to another negative opening this morning.

After plunging nearly 130 points over 6 sessions (with another 0.7% loss yesterday), the STI is barely hanging just above its 2-year vital uptrend support.

And with today’s tone likely to remain more downside biased, we could potentially see this key uptrend support (also the 3050-3060 immediate gap support) being tested.

Below that, the subsequent base lies at the 3000 key psychological support. On the upside, 3120 is still the immediate support-turned-resistance, followed by the next hurdle at the 3160 level.

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.
