BRENT TECHS, DOLLAR-SING
DOLLAR-SING: USD/SGD oscillates around unchanged levels, with little to move the
needle either way seen on the wires. Singapore is in the midst of an election
campaign, which kicked off yesterday as the city-state prepares for a Jul 10
general election.
- Singapore's Foreign Min Balakrishnan said tat around 60,000 foreigners lost
jobs due to the coronavirus pandemic. He noted that the ruling People's Action
Party's campaign platform will focus on jobs.
- Singapore PM's brother withdrew from standing in next week's general election.
He was expected to run after joining the opposition Progress Singapore Party.
- USD/SGD trade flat at SGD1.3935, with topside focus falling on Jun 22
high/23.6% retracement of the Mar 23 - Jun 10 slide at SGD1.3994/1.4003. A break
here would give bulls a fresh impetus, while bringing the 50-DMA at SGD1.4065
into play. Bears keep an eye on the 200-DMA at SGD1.3866 and should that level
give way, they could target Jun 10 low of SGD1.3804.
- Singapore's PMI data & retail sales come out on Friday.
