Singapore dollar underperforms in the region

This may persist, says analyst.

OCBC Treasury Research noted:

Given its limited room for maneuver from the perspective of its NEER, the SGD has continued to underperform its regional peers in a weak dollar environment and this may be expected to persist in the near term.

The index is currently around +1.05% above its perceived parity (1.2420) with the extreme strong end of the NEER fluctuation band expected at around 1.2230. This is expected to be the base for the USD-SGD intra-day with top side expected to be capped around 1.2330.

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.
