Singapore dollar down

It trades at $1.2376 against the US dollar.

IG Markets Singapore noted:

Traders took a breather from rising equities last night and currencies were caught in the crossfire.

Last night saw a period of consolidation with risk assets slipping against their major counterparts.

This saw the Singapore dollar continue to edge down against the greenback last night. It trades at $1.2376 this morning.

While there is plenty of momentum left in the risk rally, some feel rises have been too swift without a material change in the world economy.

There is also the distraction of a currency war starting as the yen continues to weaken while the euro could be starting a new period of bullishness.

OCBC Treasury Research meanwhile reported:

With investors having little inclination drive Asian currencies higher at this juncture, the SGD NEER may continue to loiter in the vicinity of its perceived parity (1.2420) with the index currently around +0.40% above the mid-point.

At current levels, the extreme strong end of the NEER fluctuation band is estimated at around 1.2235 while topside for the USD-SGD is expected around 1.2420 intra-day.

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.
