Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.1%

Expect more losses today.

According to OCBC, the muted showing on Wall Street overnight is unlikely to give the battered local sentiment much of a boost this morning; the Nikkei has opened 0.1% lower.

Here's more from OCBC:

While the 1.1% sell-down in the STI yesterday was fiercer than expected, it reinforces our view that the medium-term outlook remains quite bearish.

Still, the market is hopeful of a “SG50” rally next week; but we could see investors taking opportunity of any technical rebound to sell into strength; this especially if the index fails to convincingly clear the key 3357 hurdle yet again.

On the downside, we peg the immediate support at 3200, ahead of 3167.

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.
