- Travellers: buying SGD cash or loading currency cards might face slightly less Favourable exchange rates if the pair drops further.
- Businesses: paying SGD invoices with AED could see their costs increase if the pair falls further, making conversions less favourable.
🧭 Key drivers

- Risk/commodities: Risk-off sentiment continues to pressure risk-sensitive currencies, supporting safe havens like the USD, but pressuring SGD.
- Global factors: Market focus on US CPI and Fed stance adds to cautious risk sentiment environment, influencing SGD's performance.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A shift in risk sentiment towards risk-on conditions may improve market tone, boosting AED/SGD.
- Downside risk: Escalation of global risk aversion or worsening economic data could deepen the pair’s decline.
