Risk currencies fare better

Traders await the ECB policy meeting.

IG Markets Singapore noted:

On the FX markets risk currencies fared better, the euro recovered some ground against the greenback. The single currency moved up to $1.312 having earlier in the day traded lower, heading back down towards the 1.30 level.

This turnaround was down to FX traders hedging their bets that the forthcoming ECB policy meeting on Thursday will leave rates and policy unchanged, compared to the more sympathetic Fed.

OCBC Treasury Research meanwhile reported:

On the SGD front, the NEER is currently around +0.90% above its perceived parity (1.2395) with the extreme strong end of the NEER fluctuation band expected at around 1.2215 at current levels. Topside for the USD-SGD meanwhile is expected towards 1.2320.

Multi-session, the SGD may remain a function of relative plays within the region or against the majors, with limited room for discretionary SGD strength against the USD.

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.
