The Singapore Dollar Outperforms the U.S. Dollar Amid Improved Economic Indicators

The USD/SGD pair recorded a level of 1.2801 two weeks ago — its lowest since September 30, 2024 — and is currently trading near 1.2850. The pair has declined by about 6% from its peak of 1.3550, recorded on April 9, 2025, to the low it hit on May 26, 2025. It is also down approximately 6% year-to-date.

Recent economic data from Singapore indicates that the Singapore dollar remains resilient, supported by the following developments:

  • Non-oil domestic exports rose by 40% year-on-year, beating both expectations (4.00%) and the previous reading (5.40%).
  • Retail sales grew by 3% month-on-month, improving from the previous decline of -2.7%.
  • Industrial production rose by 3% month-on-month, also recovering from the previous drop of -2.7%.
  • GDP growth for Q1 came in at 9% year-on-year, slightly above expectations of 3.8%.
  • Manufacturing PMI rose to 7, compared to the previous reading of 49.6.
  • Core consumer prices (excluding food and energy) increased by 70%, surpassing both the forecast and the previous figure of 0.50%.

An additional factor boosting the Singapore dollar is the broad weakness of the U.S. dollar against most major currencies.

Technical indicators also support the continuation of the downtrend in the USD/SGD pair in the near term due to several factors:

  1. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 42, reflecting bearish momentum.
  2. The Positive Directional Indicator (DMI+) stands at around 15, while the Negative Directional Indicator (DMI-) is at 19, indicating a widening gap between the two and suggesting strong selling pressure on the pair.
