- Risk/commodities: Risk-off sentiment remains dominant, supported by geopolitical and fiscal developments influencing safe-haven flows.
- Global factors: Broader risk sentiment continues to favor safe-haven assets, pressuring risk-sensitive FX like SGD.
⚠️ What could change it

BER suggests comparing FX providers may help offset less favourable exchange conditions, and shopping around for lower margins can reduce total transfer costs.
