Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.9%

Index likely to gain 0.3% at the open.

OCBC Investment Research noted:

While the STI, which ended 0.9% lower yesterday, could stage a technical rebound, we think that investors may still be looking to sell into strength.

This if the index fails to convincingly clear the 3282 hurdle (centre of Bollinger band); the STI also looks uncomfortable above 3300.

Hence, there is a risk of the index retracing back towards the initial 3200 psychological support, and even to 3171 (38.2% retracement of 2931-3319 rally).

Meanwhile, IG Markets Singapore said:

The positive finish to the US markets means we are pricing in a 0.3% gain for the STI at the open.

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.
