Currently, SGD/PHP is trading near its 60-day lows at 46.93, below its 3-month average. The pair is supported by risk-off flows and global market volatility. Over the next few sessions, the pair may remain under pressure if risk sentiment stays subdued, with conditions slightly less favourable for SGD conversions.

- Businesses: paying overseas invoices in PHP could face higher costs if the pair continues to decline.
🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: The USD/SGD rate continues to be influenced by safe-haven flows, supporting the overall risk-off environment.
- Risk/commodities: Market volatility and external shocks are pressuring Philippine Peso and risk-sensitive FX.
- Global factors: Rising global market volatility and US dollar strength are driving PHP depreciation.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A stabilization in global risk appetite could support a recovery in SGD/PHP.
- Downside risk: Worsening risk sentiment or external shocks may push the pair further down.
BER suggests comparing FX providers to help offset less favourable conditions and find lower margins that can reduce transfer costs.
