Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 2.65%

Expect muted gains today.

According to OCBC, the sharp retreat on Wall Street overnight is likely to weigh further on local sentiment; and news that China has suspended its circuit breakers is also likely to add to the uncertainty.

While the STI already looks oversold after the 2.7% plunge yesterday, we could still see more downside risk as fear has now entered into the market; the STI is also expected to take the cue from how the Chinese markets perform later, OCBC said.

Here’s more from OCBC:

With the breaking of the key 2740 support yesterday, the next few supports at 2700, 2680 or even 2643 may be called into play.

Much firmer supports are expected around 2600 and 2521.

On the upside, we peg the immediate hurdle at 2740, ahead of 2800.

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.
