Singtel an unlikely winner on back of increased forex volatility

Regional currencies remain robust versus the greenback.

Singtel will get a positive boost from the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates, a report by UOB Kay Hian stated.

According to the report, Singtel is backed by the strength of most ASEAN currencies, most of which have appreciated against the Singapore dollar.

“Indonesian Rupiah, Indian Rupee, Thai Baht and Philippine Peso have appreciated 1.4%, 5.1%, 3.1% and 3.7% respectively against the Singapore Dollar. More importantly, the Australian Dollar, which has depreciated against the Singapore Dollar over the past five months, experienced its first day of genuine rebound of 1.7% yesterday,” stated the report.

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.
