The Singapore dollar shows downside bias against the US dollar within an established trading range, according to UOB currency strategists Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann. USD/SGD opened stronger following a subdued previous session, with upward momentum tentatively forming but encountering resistance around the 1.2945 to 1.2955 levels. The pair remains constrained as traders assess regional economic signals and Federal Reserve policy expectations.
UOB maintains its forecast that USD/SGD will trade between 1.2890 and 1.2990 over the next one to three weeks, suggesting limited breakout potential in either direction. The range-bound outlook reflects balanced forces between dollar strength and Singapore’s relatively stable economic fundamentals. Traders should monitor whether the pair can breach the identified resistance zone, which would signal a potential shift in near-term momentum.
