SGD

SGD fell against USD yesterday as Asian investors bought the dollar ahead of the Fed decision and digested ADB’s growth downgrade, despite strong results from a Singapore bank. USDSGD rose 0.32% yesterday while SGDHKD ended at 6.11 level.
MYR
Support / Resistance
vs USD 3.9340 / 3.9772 ➡
USDMYR traded with a slightly firmer bias overnight as crude oil futures and US yields pushed higher, while limited progress on the Iran situation and ongoing blockade concerns kept the broader USD supported, with USDJPY trading above 160. Even so, MYR continues to attract selling interest on dollar rallies rather than chase the move, leaving price action more range bound than directional. The pair has recently peaked around 3.9720 and that area should attract some USD supply on any test, with spot broadly consolidating within the recent 3.94–3.98 band. This morning, USDMYR opened at 3.9500/3.9600 and has already traded, and my bias is for another day of consolidation with an expected intraday range of 3.95–3.97 as the market fades moves towards the topside rather than breaking out.
⬆ Consolidation, indicates that the currency's movement against USD has remained sideways
➡ Up Trend, indicates that the currency has been moving higher against the base currency
⬇ Down Trend, indicates that the currency has been moving lower against the base currency
