Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.3%

Here's what could lift the index today.

OCBC Investment Research said:

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

However, any gains are likely to be limited; the STI has started to show signs of failing a retest at the 3070 key support-turned-resistance following a 1.3% retreat yesterday.

Meanwhile, the MACD is also starting to deteriorate again; this suggests that the downside momentum could be building up.

For now, we still see the immediate base at the 3000 key psychological level, with subsequent base pegged at the 2930 key trough. Above the 3070 immediate obstacle, we see the next hurdle at the 3130 minor support-turned-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.
