NEER Retreats From Cycle Highs, USD/SGD At 2-Month Low

SGD

The SGD NEER (per Goldman Sachs estimates) has retreated from fresh cycle highs, printed in the aftermath of yesterday's US CPI print, to sit a touch softer in early trade on Wednesday. We sit ~0.5% below the top of the band.

  • Broad based USD weakness post US CPI saw USD/SGD fall ~0.7% to print a fresh month to date low, the pair sits on the $1.33 handle and is at its lowest level since 11 May.
  • The pair has fallen ~2% from highs registered on Monday, and has comfortably cleared the 20-Day EMA ($1.3445).
  • Bears now target the low from April 14 ($1.3204). Bulls first target a break of yesterday's high ($1.3412) to turn the tide.
  • Looking ahead; on the wires early tomorrow we have the Advance Q2 GDP print, a fall of 0.2% Q/Q is expected.
