NEER Little Changed In Early Dealing, Non-Oil Export to China Rise In June

SGD

The SGD NEER (per Goldman Sachs estimates) is little changed in early dealing, the measure sits a touch off cycle highs and is ~0.3% below the top of the band.

  • USD/SGD printed its lowest level since early February on Friday before marginally paring losses. We sit at $1.3220/30, broad USD trends continue to dominate with the pair falling ~3% from the high on July 6.
  • The pair has been supported below $1.32 for the most pair of 2023. Bears look to sustain a break of the figure to target the low from 1 Feb ($1.3032). Bulls first look to target the high from 13 July ($1.3307).
  • Singapore Export data cross this morning, Non-Oil Exports grew 5.4 M/M in June beating expectations. In the month exports to China grew 3.7%, which likely contributed to the strong Q2 GDP print on Friday.
  • Looking ahead the local data calendar is empty for the remainder of the week.
