Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.8%

Brace for another pullback today.

According to OCBC, persistent weakness on Wall Street overnight is expected to weigh heavily on the local bourse this morning, adding further to the STI’s 0.8% decline yesterday.

Although the index is near the immediate support at 2950, we do not expect it to hold; instead, the STI could gap down and head for a test of the next 2900 support.

Here’s more from OCBC:

And should this level also give way, we do not rule out an eventual slide back to 2800; overall tone is likely to remain quite cautious due to a possible rate hike in the US in Dec.

On the upside, we peg the first hurdle at 3000, ahead of 3049; both of which has been very formidable in the past.

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.
