Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.21%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, lthough the STI managed to claw its way back above the key 2800 support yesterday after paring some of its earlier losses to end 1.2% lower, this may all be in vain in wake of the continued correction on Wall Street overnight.

As such, the STI could head lower once again, bringing the next support at 2770 (23.6% retracement of the fall from 3550 to 2528); but a break of which could see the index easing further to 2740.

Here’s more from OCBC:

While overall volume was relatively flat at 1.6b units traded, the average value/unit jumped 45% to S$0.71; this as some of the profit-taking switched over to the blue chips like the banks and KepCorp and SCI.

On the upside, we expect 2850 to remain the next hurdle (but the ability to sustain above 2800 now remains in doubt).

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.
