Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.43%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, although Wall Street ended higher overnight, the lower US index futures have pared the gains by over 50%; this following a weak outlook from Apple.

Here’s more from OCBC:

As such, we expect local sentiment to remain mostly cautious, and even though we may get a technical rebound (as market has fallen back into the oversold region), we could see investors again adopting a “sell into strength” approach.

As before, the continued failure to retake the key 2600 level could send the index sliding back towards 2500; breaking which, 2424 beckons.

For now, we peg the initial support at 2521, ahead of the key 2500; above 2600, we peg the next hurdle at 2650, with the key hurdle remaining at 2700.

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.
