The US dollar has been edging up against the Singapore dollar along with other major currencies.

Traders are slowly repositioning themselves for a scenario that doesn’t include QE3.

This has seen the dollar strengthen as this realisation sets in.

The local currency has proved itself resilient to this trend, however it is starting to test its narrow $1.24 -$1.25 trading range.

This morning it sits at $1.2493 as more traders start to feel US economic data being released doesn’t support another round of asset-purchases.

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.
