Markets Briefing: STI down 0.2%

Similar consolidative reaction forecast today.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The muted reactions on Wall Street last Friday night are unlikely to provide any inspiration to the local bourse this morning.

As a recap, the STI continued to consolidate in a fairly tight trading range in the last session with a 0.2% lower close; we are likely to see a similar consolidative reaction today as well.

For now, the 3315 key peak is still the firm resistance to overcome in the near term, with the subsequent resistance is still pegged at the 3400 psychological hurdle.

On the downside, 3260 is still the immediate support, with the next base marked at the 3230 key resistance-turned-support.

Meanwhile, IG Markets Singapore noted:

In Singapore, the STI slipped to 3283 on Friday in another lacklustre session. With no fresh catalyst or upbeat economic news to hang on, today could spell a similar course for the local blue chip market.

Last week the STI broke through the 3300 barrier but then quickly fell back below as global uncertainties rattled local traders. The futures market points to a marginally firmer open for the STI this morning.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
