Singapore dollar trades at $1.2206

Fiscal cliff issue remains the biggest factor.

IG Markets Singapore said:

The Singapore dollar trades at $1.2206 this morning against the greenback having moved very little as traders assess the likelihood of a fiscal cliff being struck before the end of the month.

This concern is the most significant among FX traders currently and has prevented them from taking bigger end-of-year bets on Asian currencies.

There are plenty of mixed messages coming out of US lawmakers' mouths and it is proving hard to predict when a deal will come.

Uncertainty rules the roost and this plays against traders who are finding it hard to stay in the market.

A Fed meeting that is expected to launch QE4 long-dated bond-buying is expected to conclude tonight which could lead to dollar weakness.

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.
