Outlook for USD-SGD remains on the downside

The Singapore dollar may continue to garner support from cited safe haven asset allocations, says OCBC.

OCBC Treasury Research noted:

The SGD NEER is noticeably stronger this morning at around 0.53% above its perceived parity (1.2625) with the extreme strong end of the NEER fluctuation band estimated at around 1.2380.

The SGD may continue to garner support from cited safe haven asset allocations while on the policy front, the MAS reiterated that its current policy remains appropriate for now.

Meanwhile, the outlook for the USD-SGD remains tilted south for now with the 100-day MA (1.2634) expected to be an interim ceiling with risks skewed towards 1.2525 and then 1.2500 if risk appetite levels manage to improve further today.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
