Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.54%

Brace for a pullback today.

According to OCBC, the muted closing on Wall Street is unlikely to provide much in terms of cues for the local bourse this morning; the Nikkei has reopened 1% lower after its long weekend.

However, we note that the local market does look oversold and we may get a technical rebound soon, especially if the immediate 2700 support continues to hold, OCBC said.

Here’s more from OCBC:

But we are not expecting a strong rebound, given that the overall tone is still quite negative; instead, we may see selling into strength emerging again if the index fails to make any headway against the immediate 2740 resistance.

Below 2700, we peg the subsequent supports around 2680 and 2643. On the upside, we peg the next hurdle at 2772, ahead of the key 2800 resistance.

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.
