The recent exchange rate dynamics between the Singapore dollar (SGD) and the Hong Kong dollar (HKD) have been influenced by multiple factors, particularly trade tensions and local economic policies. Analysts express concerns about the SGD outlook following the announcement of a 10% tariff on Singaporean imports by the U.S. President, which has exacerbated worries regarding a potential global trade war. This development has dashed previous optimism and has led to a decline in risk appetite across emerging Asian currencies, with significant movements observed in other regional currencies such as the Thai baht and South Korean won.
