Markets Briefing: STI up 0.2%

The index is likely to remain locked in a tight trading range.

IG Markets Singapore noted:

In Singapore, the STI lifted 0.2% yesterday to move up to 3288 as it again flirts with the 3300 level.

This morning we are pricing another flat open for the local blue chip index.

Meanwhile, OCBC Investment Research said:

With Wall Street closed overnight, the STI is likely to remain locked in a tight trading range again today.

While the STI added 0.2% yesterday, the daily indicators suggest that the market still looks slightly overbought and a technical pullback may be in the making.

For a start, we could see the STI easing to 3258 (38.2% retracement of the 3160-3319 rally), while a larger pullback could bring the index back to 3171 (38.2% retracement of the 2931-3319 rally).

On the upside, 3300 remains the initial hurdle, ahead of 3319.

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.
