USD-SGD to remain 'inherently heavy'

Any further improvements in global risk appetite levels may engender a drift in the SGD NEER, says OCBC Treasury Research.

OCBC Treasury Research noted:

We expect the USD-SGD to remain inherently heavy in the near term within a 1.2580-1.2680 range. The SGD NEER meanwhile is around - 0.40% below its perceived parity (1.2575) with the extreme weak end of the NEER fluctuation band estimated at around 1.2830. Notably, any further improvements in global risk appetite levels may engender a drift in the SGD NEER into the stronger half of its fluctuation band.

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.
