Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.1%

Expect some good news today.

According to OCBC, the rebound on Wall Street Friday and the positive Nikkei start (+0.8% currently) should bring some relief to the local bourse this morning.

Here's more from OCBC:

Although the STI slipped 1.1% in the last session, we note that the index managed to close above the key 3300 psychological support; this despite the heavy selling pressure (value traded was 50% more than Thursday; losers outpaced gainers by >2 to 1).

Having said that, we could see profit-taking emerging at higher levels as sentiment may still stay somewhat cautious in view of the increased volatility/risk. Note that the US markets will also be closed tonight.

For now, we peg the most immediate hurdle around 3318 (30-DMA, 50-DMA), ahead of 3341 (Friday’s intraday high). Immediate support at 3296 (100-DMA), ahead of minor gap at 3252-3258.

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.
