Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.8%

Medium term still remains muted.

According to OCBC, after tumbling 0.8% yesterday, the much stronger Wall Street close overnight should bring some relief to the local bourse this morning.

Here's more from OCBC:

However, we could still see investors using the technical rebound to sell into strength, given that the medium-term picture for the STI remains somewhat muted; the 50-DMA (now at 3438) could cut down on the 100-DMA (now at 3426); MACD still stuck deep inside the negative region.

But for now, as long as the STI stays above 3300 (61.8% retracement of 3149-3549 rally), we should see the index making an attempt to test the upper boundary (now around 3334) of the downtrend since peaking at 3549.

Still, failure to clear the next hurdle at 3358 (mid Mar 2015 high, also various peaks in 2014) could see the STI sliding back towards 3300 and even 3234 (early Jul 2014 low).

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
