Period of volatility on the FX markets looms.

Things have stayed very quiet for the Singapore dollar overnight as it spends another session unchanged against the greenback.

There could be a period of volatility on the FX markets as we head towards the year-end unless a deal is struck soon on the fiscal cliff crisis.

US politicians and policymakers have the power to influence markets with their comments and that is exactly what has happened this week.

While the USD yo-yos on such comments the local currency has remained resilient among all the noise, waiting for action not talk.

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.
