Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.37%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, fresh weakness on Wall Street overnight could continue to keep local sentiment fairly cautious ahead of the FOMC meeting; although market does not expect the Fed to make any move just yet, market will be looking out for clues on when the next rate hike could take place.

Here’s more from OCBC:

While the STI extended its losses, slipping another 1.4% yesterday, it still managed to hold above the key 2900 support; we note that the overall volume has also fallen nearly 29% to 1.1b units traded, suggesting the sell-down was pretty contained.

After the recent correction, we expect the index to consolidate around this key level and range trade between 2868 and 2919 for now.

Key support remains at 2800; key resistance at 3000.

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.
