UOB Model Shows Singapore Dollar Trading Firmly Above Policy Midpoint

According to FX Street, UOB’s SGD NEER model indicates that the Singapore Dollar is currently trading 1.68% above the midpoint of its policy band. The currency had closed the previous session 171 basis points above this midpoint, suggesting sustained strength in the SGD.

The model expects the SGD to remain between 1.40% and 1.90% above the policy midpoint today. This range implies a USD/SGD trading band of 1.2898 to 1.2963, reflecting relatively stable but firm conditions for the currency pair.

For Japanese investors and traders, monitoring the SGD’s positioning is relevant given Singapore’s role as a key financial hub in Asia and its influence on regional FX and equity markets.
