Singapore dollar underperforms in the region

This may persist, says analyst.

OCBC Treasury Research noted:

Given its limited room for maneuver from the perspective of its NEER, the SGD has continued to underperform its regional peers in a weak dollar environment and this may be expected to persist in the near term.

The index is currently around +1.05% above its perceived parity (1.2420) with the extreme strong end of the NEER fluctuation band expected at around 1.2230. This is expected to be the base for the USD-SGD intra-day with top side expected to be capped around 1.2330.

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.
