Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.9%

Key hurdle pegged at the 3200 mark.

OCBC Investment Research said:

Persistent weakness on Wall Street overnight could weigh further on local sentiment this morning, even after yesterday’s 0.9% slide.

Although the technical indicators suggest that the market is oversold, the selling pace has picked up and the average value traded has increased sharply from S$0.43 to S$0.53.

If the index breaches 3135 (61.8% retracement of 2931-3464 rally), it may indicate that the STI is embarking on a new downtrend.

More worrying is the breaching of 1-year uptrend line at 3210 recently – failure to retake this support-turned-resistance could see a deeper correction back to 2991 (61.8% retracement of 2698-3464 rally).

On the upside, 3200 remains the key hurdle, while the parabolic buy signal will only be triggered at 3289.

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.
