The US dollar has been edging up against the Singapore dollar along with other major currencies.

Traders are slowly repositioning themselves for a scenario that doesn’t include QE3.

This has seen the dollar strengthen as this realisation sets in.

The local currency has proved itself resilient to this trend, however it is starting to test its narrow $1.24 -$1.25 trading range.

This morning it sits at $1.2493 as more traders start to feel US economic data being released doesn’t support another round of asset-purchases.

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.
