Singapore Dollar: Gains momentum against US Dollar – OCBC

OCBC’s FX strategists Sim Moh Siong and Christopher Wong highlight that USD/SGD has eased as US Dollar (USD) momentum softened on core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index data, with the pair around 1.2960. Bullish daily momentum remains, but Relative Strength Index (RSI) is turning lower from overbought, and they are monitoring whether this turnaround extends or attracts dip-buying. They flag potential distortion from quarter-end flows and outline nearby support and resistance levels.
