Singapore dollar traded at 1.2360 against the greenback

USD's weakness likely to be a catalyst in future trades.

IG Markets Singapore said:

Overnight the SGD strengthened to test 1.2360 against the US dollar, which has been a key support level for the cross so far in February. Having hit that mark in late US trade we have once again moved marginally higher.

If we do see the 1.2360 support truly broken there could be scope to move back towards the 1.2220-80 range which we held in the middle of January. General USD weakness is likely to be the catalyst for this, though attention will be given to our GDP figures out on Friday.

OCBC Daily Bank noted:

Elsewhere, the SGD NEER is currently around +0.85% above its perceived parity (1.2480) with the extreme strong end of the NEER fluctuation band seen around 1.2295. Meanwhile, expect the 200-day MA (1.2413) to cap for now.

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.
