Period of volatility on the FX markets looms.

Things have stayed very quiet for the Singapore dollar overnight as it spends another session unchanged against the greenback.

There could be a period of volatility on the FX markets as we head towards the year-end unless a deal is struck soon on the fiscal cliff crisis.

US politicians and policymakers have the power to influence markets with their comments and that is exactly what has happened this week.

While the USD yo-yos on such comments the local currency has remained resilient among all the noise, waiting for action not talk.

This morning the Singapore dollar trades at $1.2222.

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.
