Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.1%
Another pullback is expected today.
According to OCBC, the pullback on Wall Street overnight and the weaker Nikkei start (down 0.1% currently) could spark another bout of modest profit-taking.
Here's more from OCBC:
The STI, though down 0.1% yesterday, had been on an impressive 9.7% rally since mid-Oct 2014.
Still, we do not expect any pullback to be significant, given the daily technical indicators are still looking quite positive.
We peg the immediate support at 3394 (50-DMA), ahead of 3364 (lower uptrend channel boundary).
On the upside, we see the first hurdle at 3458 (recent high), ahead of 3489 (upper uptrend channel boundary).
