Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.86%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, continued weakness on Wall Street overnight is likely to weigh further on local sentiment; the Nikkei is down 0.6% already in early trade.

Here’s more from OCBC:

As before, the STI could be making its way back to test the 2850 support; although we suspect that stronger bargain hunting interest may only emerge closer to 2800.

And on the upside, 2900 remains a formidable hurdle in the near term; we think that traders are likely to be looking to sell into strength around there.

Above 2900, we peg the next strong resistance at 2931.

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.
