USD-SGD to remain 'inherently heavy'

Any further improvements in global risk appetite levels may engender a drift in the SGD NEER, says OCBC Treasury Research.

OCBC Treasury Research noted:

We expect the USD-SGD to remain inherently heavy in the near term within a 1.2580-1.2680 range. The SGD NEER meanwhile is around - 0.40% below its perceived parity (1.2575) with the extreme weak end of the NEER fluctuation band estimated at around 1.2830. Notably, any further improvements in global risk appetite levels may engender a drift in the SGD NEER into the stronger half of its fluctuation band.

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.
