USD-SGD rises to 1.3638

The USD-SGD is currently around the 1.3600 mark as global risk appetite remains curbed by US data and Ireland’s downgrade, according to OCBC.

“The SGD NEER continued to retreat from the stronger side of its parity band, also reflecting general risk aversion and the stronger USD,” said OCBC Bank's Treasury & Strategy Research.

It added the pair was expected to tread a cautious 1.3570-1.3650 range, taking the cues from equities and the majors in a broad global slowdown story.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
