- Global factors: Singapore’s MAS continues to signal a tightening bias, reinforcing SGD strength.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A less aggressive US rate path or softer US economic data could weaken the USD.
- Downside risk: A shift in MAS policy to ease or Singapore’s inflation pressures easing might pressure the pair lower.
