Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.8%

Will today's tone improve?

OCBC Investment Researcher said:

The strong rebound on Wall Street last Friday night and the positive Nikkei start (up 1.2% now) are likely to boost local sentiments this morning.

As a recap, the STI finally cracked the 3200 psychological support after a 0.8% retreat in the last session; this suggesting a more bearish stance going forward.

But with today's tone likely to show some near-term improvements, we could potentially see the index heading back to test the 3200 (now support-turned-resistance).

A failure to overcome this level will see the index falling to the immediate base at 3155 (minor trough) next. Below that, the subsequent support lies at the 3120 key troughs.

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.
