Dominant driver❔ Mixed market factors
Currently, SGD/PHP is trading near 47.50, holding within its recent 3.2% range and trading close to the 3-month average. The pair is supported by risk-off sentiment, which favors stable or slightly weaker currencies.

- Expats: sending money to the Philippines may find current conditions slightly more favourable than recent levels.

- Risk/commodities: Risk-off sentiment remains predominant, with a cautious outlook supported by global volatility.
- Global factors: External risks and geopolitical developments continue to influence overall risk sentiment and FX stability.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A sustained decline in global risk aversion may support SGD appreciation.
- Downside risk: A sharp escalation in global uncertainties could pressure the pair lower.
