- Businesses: paying overseas JPY invoices with SGD might encounter less advantageous FX conditions.
🧭 Key drivers

- Risk/commodities: Risk-off conditions underpin safe-haven currencies, including the JPY.
- Global factors: Market caution and rising intervention fears support JPY and pressure SGD.
⚠️ What could change it

- Downside risk: Increased intervention fears or stronger USD could push SGD/JPY lower.
