USD/SGD advances, supported by safe-haven demand

05:12 GMT — USD/SGD advances during the Asian afternoon session, supported by safe-haven demand for the USD amid ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Market participants remain vigilant about the possibility of a further escalation of the conflict and involving more countries and multiple fronts, Maybank analysts say in a forex research and strategy report. The currency pair has been supported by safe-haven demand for the USD and could strengthen as the narrative of higher and longer US rates remains intact, analysts add. USD/SGD is up 0.1% at 1.3696.
