Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.4%

Another pullback is likely today.

According to OCBC, although it was expected that the market could see more selling should the index fails to stay above 3202 hurdle, the strength of the pullback remained surprising.

Here's more from OCBC:

Currently, the STI is just sitting above the next 3150 support, but it is not a strong one at that, especially with the overall tone likely to remain cautious – note that Wall Street has closed lower overnight; Nikkei has opened 0.4% lower.

Still, the daily RSI is showing oversold signals for the STI, suggesting that a technical rebound is likely due soon; but unless the fundamentals improve, we could see more selling into strength.

On the upside, 3202 remains the immediate hurdle, ahead of 3246; below 3150, the next support is at 3100.

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.
