Sentiment is expected to get a lift from the spike in crude prices following the long awaited OPEC deal to cut production, which would remove much of the excess supply in the global market, but gains could be capped as market technicals approach overbought levels.
Regional bourses opened in the green today, led by Tokyo (+1.5%), Sydney (+0.5%) and Seoul (+0.1%).Technically, STI could head towards its next objective at 2,950, with resistance-turned-support at 2,882 (breakaway gap).
