Singapore Dollar Is Weakest Since 2010 on Monetary Policy Shift

Singapore Dollar Sinks on Policy Shift; Nasdaq Futures Up

(Bloomberg) -- Singapore’s central bank unexpectedly eased monetary policy, sending the currency to the weakest since 2010 as the country joined global policy makers in shoring up growth amid dwindling inflation.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore, which uses the currency as its main policy tool, said it will reduce the slope of the policy band for the island’s dollar in an unscheduled policy statement Wednesday. It also cut the inflation forecast for 2015, predicting prices may fall as much as 0.5 percent.

....

Singapore’s dollar fell 0.9 percent to S$1.3513 per U.S. dollar as of 10:18 a.m. local time, the weakest since September 2010. The currency has fallen almost 6 percent against the U.S. dollar in the past three months, the third-biggest loser among 11 most-traded Asian currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
The MAS will probably weaken the Singapore dollar “quite solidly” and the currency may drop to about S$1.4 against the U.S. dollar by the end of March, said Tsutomu Soma, department manager of the fixed-income business unit at Rakuten Securities.

not difficult for u, i m sure. whether from msia or sg. more so if u dun trade, like me!

usd is mighty now; sgd just decided to go soft; rm seems to drfit along...

with all that currency, oil and debt wars going on everywhere, need to look outside a bit to preserve/protect yr capital.

if i had not done that over the last 1.5 yrs, i m quite certain i m now 10% poorer.

interesting.. compare for us markets..

citibank sg vs cimb kl

min brokerage: usd29 vs usd25
brokerage: 0.35% vs 0.40%
sell sec charge: 0.00221% vs 0.00169%
gst: yes vs not yet
custodian fee: 0.01% or usd100 per 6 mths vs nil

citibank may be cheaper for local sg stocks but isn't cheap for us stocks.
us stocks, about the same - too costly, can't trade also...

maybe some other sg banks cheaper; sg residents like here, probably using discount brokers for us day trades, etc...

plus point is, we grow with this YOUNG reit over time...

Minus point is EXHANGE RATE risk....

Anyway, my aim is diversification to EUROPE.. so, will do nothing and wait.

i agree... give it a little time.

euro may be weak but sgd is also going thru easing.

market forces will take time to find equilibrium.

usd, euro, sgd are reliable currencies.

just dun go for commodity driven currencies like ruble or even aud as commodity prices will likely stay low for a couple of years at least.

not over yet... not until commodity prices improve/rebound/stabilize.
that will depend on health of china factories as they are the ones importing from aus.
china factories not looking that good at this time.

sgd to fall to 5 yr low at 1.39/usd.

sgx equities may be retreating becos of this as foreign funds generally do not like a weakening currency:

Ascendas Hospitality Trust (A-HTRUST) has recorded a 19.3% fall in distribution per stapled security (DPS) for the 3Q ended Dec to 1.30 cents from 1.61 cents a year ago due to forex losses.

Gross revenue rose 5.2% to $59.6 million from a year ago mainly due to the contribution from Osaka Namba Washington Hotel Plaza as well as the continuing improvement in the performance of the Australia portfolio.

there r 2 ascendas... which is confusing.

and i had trouble finding the ticker... ascht or ahtrust or asht or ashp or q1p or...?

can't even get the ticker right... no wonder the reit goes down! tongue.gif

anyway, ascendas reit is fine, doing good.

ascendas htrust is not doing well - must be the australian hotels. aud is gong lower n lower n lower...

really? but why...? hmm.gif



actually, i find it hard to buy or sell anything currently - too much uncertainty about oil price, int rates/monetary easing, exchange rates - they go up and down quite quickly and quite dramatically!

by doing nothing, i seem to have hedged ok with rm-sgd-usd. this one up, that one down; next day this one down, that one up... trade off nicely... a bit boring! laugh.gif
