Currently, CAD/SGD is trading close to the 90-day average within a stable range, supported by cautious risk sentiment.

- Expats: sending money to Singapore may find current conditions relatively stable, though fluctuations could occur if market sentiment shifts.
- Travellers: exchanging CAD for SGD might see limited movement, maintaining their purchasing power within the current range.
- Businesses: paying SGD invoices from Canada may experience stable costs, though upside or downside breaks could affect forward planning.
🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: The policy outlook provides a stable backdrop with CAD supported by oil prices and SGD supported by MAS policy tightening.
- Risk/commodities: Risk-off conditions bolster safe-haven currencies like SGD, pressuring risk-sensitive FX such as CAD.
- Global factors: Geopolitical tensions and cautious risk sentiment remain central, influencing both currencies equally.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A spike in oil prices could strengthen the CAD outperformance against SGD.
- Downside risk: an escalation in geopolitical tensions or a China slowdown may weaken both currencies but could pressure the pair lower.
Finding providers with lower margins may help offset less favourable exchange conditions and reduce total transfer costs.
