Currently, AUD/SGD is trading close to 0.917, holding near recent highs and above its 3-month average. The pair is supported by Singapore's policy-driven stability measures and the risk-off environment, but there is a potential for the pair to face downward pressure over the near term as risk sentiment remains cautious. Conditions may remain sensitive to global risk conditions and policy outlooks.

- Businesses: paying SGD invoices with AUD may need to monitor for potential weakening if sentiment shifts.
🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: The pair is near the 90-day average, with the SGD supported by MAS's exchange rate policy tightening.
- Risk/commodities: Risk-off sentiment is prevalent, supported by geopolitical tensions and cautious global risk appetite.
- Global factors: The US Federal Reserve outlook continues to influence USD strength, indirectly affecting AUD/SGD.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A shift towards risk-on sentiment or easing geopolitical tensions could support a recovery in AUD/SGD.
- Downside risk: Further risk aversion or aggressive policy tightening may weaken AUD further against SGD.
