Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.2%

Expect more losses today.

According to OCBC, renewed weakness on Wall Street overnight is likely to weigh further on local sentiment and send more investors heading for the exit; note that Nikkei is down 0.7% in early trade.

Here's more from OCBC:

The STI, down 1.2% yesterday, looks poised to test the immediate 2900 support, breaking which, could ease further towards 2860.

2800 remains a realistic target in the current environment.

On the upside, we peg the immediate hurdle at 2950; but we continue to see 3000 as a pretty tough hurdle to clear.

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.
