Daily Markets Briefing: STI to open flat

But index still on track to test the 3320 key peaks resistance.

IG Markets Singapore said:

Elsewhere in Asia the Hang Seng lifted 1.4% while on the local market the STI slipped 0.3% to start the week at 3289 as the key property sector once again was under pressure. The picture this morning around Asia seems a little mixed, despite the positive leads from the US, as traders digest both the US and Chinese data.

We are pricing a flat open for the STI this morning.

Meanwhile, OCBC Investment Research noted:

Despite pulling back 0.3% in the last session, the STI’s near-term upside momentum is still fairly intact; as such, the index is still on track to test the 3320 key peaks resistance in the days ahead.

Should the index overcome the 3320 obstacle convincingly, it will then continue on towards the subsequent 3400 psychological hurdle.

On the downside, the 3230 key resistance-turned-support is the immediate base, with the next support level pegged at the 3200 psychological level.

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.
