Daily Markets Briefing: STI opens higher

Today might bring even better news.

The Straits Times Index opened 9.02 points higher on Monday. According to OCBC, the continued recovery by the US indices last Friday night is likely to keep the local bourse fairly buoyant this morning.

Here’s more:

US equities rallied further into record territory Friday after a solid jobs report, leaving the S&P 500 and Dow industrials with their strongest weekly performances since mid-April.

As such, we could see the STI (recovered some 0.6% in the last session) continuing its push towards the 3330 immediate resistance today.

Above that, the next hurdle lies at the 3360-3370 key gap zone. On the downside, we still see the immediate base at 3280 resistance-turned-support, followed by the subsequent support at the 3220 key trough

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.
