🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: The MAS maintains a tight policy stance, limiting immediate rate-driven moves.
- Risk/commodities: USD’s safe-haven appeal is supported by geopolitical tensions and global uncertainties.
- Global factors: SGD is influenced by US dollar strength and intervention risks, with the pair consolidating in a narrow range.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A shift in global risk sentiment towards risk-on could support AED/SGD and reverse the decline.
- Downside risk: Escalating geopolitical tensions or a sudden strengthening of the US dollar may lead to further weakening of AED/SGD.
BER suggests shopping around for the lowest margin provider may help reduce overall transfer costs.
