NEER Little Changed, USD/SGD Consolidating Below 20-Day EMA

SGD

The SGD NEER (per Goldman Sachs estimates) is little changed today and has recovered a large portion of its SVB-inspired losses as it ticks away from recent lows, as shown in the chart below. We now sit ~0.8% below the top of the band.


  • USD/SGD fell ~0.4% in yesterday's trade, the USD was pressured as risk sentiment grew after coordinated intervention by global central banks in funding markets.
  • The pair now sits below its 20-Day EMA as it consolidates its recent losses as the broader USD trends dominate flows, last printing $1.3385/95.
  • The next downside target for bears is the low from 15 Feb at $1.3281. Bulls target monthly high at $1.3576.
  • Looking ahead, Feb CPI prints on Thursday. The market expects headline and core pressures to remain elevated (5.8% for core, 6.5% for headline).
