Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 1.6%

Index likely to head to the 3000 mark.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The sharp retreat by US stocks overnight and the poor Nikkei start (down 1.6% now) are likely to spook the local bourse to further losses this morning.

Following a sharp 1.6% plunge below the 3070 key support yesterday, the STI is now likely to head quickly to the 3000 psychological support for a test next.

Meanwhile, the MACD is still falling persistently; this suggesting that the downside momentum is fairly intact.

Beyond the 3000 level, we see the next base at the 2930 key trough. On the upside, 3070 is now the newly established support-turned-resistance, followed by the next obstacle at the 3130 resistance.

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.
