Daily Markets Briefing: STI ends flat

Index likely to pull back towards 3229, says analyst.

OCBC Investment Research noted:

While the STI ended flat yesterday, we note that the total value traded fell below S$1.0b; but could also be due to extended Good Friday break.

However if that is the case, we could see a stronger profit-taking interest, which could send the index pulling back towards 3229 (23.6% retracement of the 2931-3321 rally).

For now, the initial support sits at 3300, ahead of 3278 (centre of Bollinger band). On the upside, recent 3321 high remains the initial (potentially formidable) cap.

IG Markets Singapore said:

In Singapore, we expect trading activity to remain light and the STI flat as a result.

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.
