Singapore trading sees lack of buying conviction
Volume was relatively light, says OCBC, with gainers just edging out losers 248 to 225.
OCBC Investment Research said:
Muted showing on Wall Street and an equally uninspiring Nikkei start (now flat) are unlikely to provide much of a lift to the local bourse today.
Although the STI gained 0.3% on Friday, volume was relatively light, with gainers just edging out losers 248 to 225, suggesting a lack of buying conviction.
As such, we could see the index trading within a tight range in the near term, stuck between 3030 (lower Bollinger band) and 3066 (centre of Bollinger band); although we do not rule out a steady slide towards 3000.
