Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1%

Index likely to stabilize today, says analyst.

OCBC Investment Research:

The rebound on Wall Street overnight and the positive Nikkei start (up 0.4% now) could help lift local sentiments slightly this morning.

Despite slipping as much as 1.4% intraday yesterday, the STI managed to climb back above the 3000 key psychological support subsequently and end the day with a smaller 1% loss.

And with the index likely to adopt a more stabilizing stance today, we could see it consolidating around current levels with a slight upside bias.

Below the 3000 level, we see the next base at the 2930 key trough. On the upside, 3070 is still the immediate support-turned-resistance, followed by the next obstacle at the 3130 resistance.

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.
