The recent forecasts for the MYR to SGD exchange rate have been influenced by increasing geopolitical tensions, mainly stemming from U.S. tariff announcements implemented under President Trump. Malaysia has been impacted by a 24% tariff on its exports to the U.S., while Singapore faces a comparatively milder 10% tariff. The broader implications of these tariffs suggest a deteriorating outlook for emerging Asian currencies, including both the Malaysian Ringgit and the Singapore Dollar.
