Singapore dollar weakens amid drop in NODX figures

Local currency likely to move firmly above 1.24.

IG Markets Singapore said:

Having moved up to 1.24 in early trade yesterday, USD/SGD has traded either side of that mark since.

The initial SGD weakness from the disappointment of the NODX numbers missing expectations has set the tone for the cross potentially moving firmly above 1.24 in the coming weeks.

With all eyes now on final Q4 GDP which is due on Friday, if we see further weakness from this data it is likely to feed through to our currency.

Meanwhile, OCBC Treasury Research noted:

Regarding the USD-SGD, the NEER is currently around +0.82% above its perceived parity (1.2495) with the extreme strong end of the NEER fluctuation band estimated at around 1.2310 given current market conditions.

In the interim, expect USD-SGD to ply a familiar 1.2330-1.2430 band with the 200-day MA (1.2414) still as yet unchallenged on a sustained basis.

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.
