Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.57%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, although the STI ended off early lows to close 1.6% lower, the muted showing on Wall Street overnight could continue to keep local sentiment pretty cautious; the Nikkei is closed for a national holiday today.

Here’s more from OCBC:

As before, as long as the STI fails to convincingly regain the key 2600 level, the market is likely to continue to drift lower towards 2521 in the near term; but we peg the much stronger support at 2424.

While we are not ruling out any potential technical rebound along the way, investors may continue to use these bounces to unwind stale longs.

Above 2600, we peg the next resistance at 2650 ahead of the strong 2700 hurdle.

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.
