🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: The policy outlook maintains the rate gap with Qatar’s USD peg stable, offering little pressure for significant moves.
- Risk/commodities: Risk-off conditions driven by regional conflict and energy disruptions support safe-haven currencies and pressure risk-sensitive FX.
- Global factors: Heightened regional risk aversion remains a dominant factor, supported by tensions and energy supply concerns.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: Easing regional tensions or improved risk sentiment could boost SGD against QAR.
- Downside risk: Escalation in regional conflicts or energy market disruption might deepen risk aversion, pressuring the pair lower.
