DJ FX CHAT: Singapore's STI May Stay Muted - SIAS

Singapore's STI is likely to open lower and stay muted on Friday as global markets are weighed by a mixed bag of global data, including a contraction in 4Q U.S. GDP. "The weak lead from Wall Street overnight is likely to keep the local bourse on the back foot this morning," SIAS says in a note. The house expects the STI to remain muted ahead of U.S unemployment data out later in the global day. It pegs immediate support at 3270.52 while resistance is at the psychological 3300 level. The STI closed 0.2% lower at 3280.39 on Thursday.
