Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.8%

Will today's tone improve?

According to OCBC Investment Research, with US indices recovering rather strongly overnight, this could provide some inspiration to the local bourse this morning.

Despite losing more than 0.8% at one stage yesterday, the STI rebounded off the 3160 immediate support to close 0.4% lower: this suggests that the local market is still quite well supported at current levels.

And with today’s tone likely to show a positive turnaround, we could see the index heading back in the direction of the 3230 immediate resistance (minor peaks).

Above that, the next hurdle lies at the 3260 key peaks. On the downside, the subsequent base is pegged at the 3120 key trough.

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.
