Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.79%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, the modest rebound on Wall Street last Friday night could help soothe some frayed nerves in the local bourse this morning; although overall interest could remain fairly muted with HK and China markets shut for Ching Ming Festival today.

Here’s more from OCBC:

Even though the STI appears to be holding up well above the key 2800 support, any rebound is likely to be capped by the initial 2850 hurdle; and as before, continued failure to clear this resistance could bring on the shorts again.

Meanwhile the spotlight is likely to remain on the second liners, with market talk still focused on potential M&As and even privatization; but we note that several blue chips like the banks are starting to look more interesting after the recent correction, and may be due for a technical rebound.

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.
