Spore market: shares may continue to see rangebound trade in lackluster volumes as investors await key meetings in Europe starting Thursday for further direction, though shares may have an upside bias Wednesday after Wall Street's slight rise and after two sessions of losses for the STI; the benchmark index closed down 0.6% at 2749 yday, adding to Monday's 0.3% decline.
"Given there is still a huge amount of uncertainty over exactly what will be delivered by the European politicians, on the whole investors are happy to remain relatively flat, as there is significant risk whichever way you position yourself," says IG Markets.
In the region, KOSPI is up 0.2%, Nikkei is up 0.5% at 8.15am.
The STI may find support at 2730, then 2700 with resistance at 2800 then 2840.
