SGD crashes to fresh six-year low against the greenback

It has broken above the $1.43 handle.

The Singapore dollar has lost more ground against the strong greenback, with the USD/SGD finally breaking above the $1.43 handle on Tuesday morning.

With this level finally broken, Maybank says that the next key barrier is pegged at around 1.4460, which was last reached on 24 August 2009.

“Though the risk has tilted a little more to a MAS move at its Oct meeting, our base-line scenario is for the MAS to hold for now,” said Maybank.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
