USD/SGD easing below 1.2800, off 1-year highs

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The USD/SGD foreign exchange rate is last trading near session lows at 1.2796, off yesterday's double high at 1.2862 with the one printed in early July, still up +0.77% for the week so far.

USD/SGD still biased higher while above 1.2770

“USD/SGD could pull back slightly from the top of the Bollinger uptrend channel due to profit-taking, as risk appetite returns on the back of U.S. stocks recovering overnight and Japan's Nikkei rallying 2.5% this morning,” said Ewen Chen at DowJones, adding: “That said, USD/SGD is still biased higher as long as the pair stays above 1.2771--the base of the Bollinger uptrend channel.”
