Singapore Dollar: Range-bound consolidation persists against US Dollar – UOB
United Overseas Bank’s (UOB) Quek Ser Leang notes that USD/SGD has lost upside momentum after briefly breaching support at 1.2925, shifting the short-term bias to neutral. In the near term, the pair is expected to hold within 1.2920–1.2950, while over the next 1–3 weeks UOB sees a broader 1.2870–1.2970 range. Longer term, strong weekly momentum still favors a push above 1.3000 toward 1.3095.
Dollar-Singapore Dollar holds neutral bias
"24-HOUR VIEW: Yesterday, we indicated that USD “is likely to trade between 1.2930 and 1.2960.” However, USD edged to a low of 1.2922. The decline did not result in any clear increase in downward momentum, and instead of continuing to decline today, USD is more likely to trade in a range between 1.2920 and 1.2950."
"1-3 WEEKS VIEW: After holding a positive USD view for more than a week, in our most recent narrative from last Friday (26 Jun, spot at 1.2965), we highlighted that USD “needs to build on its gain soon, or a breach of 1.2925 (‘strong support’ level) would indicate that the 1.2991 high seen two days ago is the extent of the current USD strength.” Yesterday, USD edged below 1.2925, printing a low of 1.2922. Upward momentum has faded, and we are revising our view to neutral. For the time being, USD is likely to trade in a range between 1.2870 and 1.2970."

How does Wall Street view the PCE? Goldman Sachs delays expectation for Fed rate hike
After the lower-than-expected US August PCE data was released, Goldman Sachs delayed its expectation for the Federal Reserve's second rate hike from October to December, and stated that it does not rule out the possibility that the Fed may eventually decide no further hikes are necessary. "New Fed Newsletter" Timiraos noted that the PCE does not change the previously known trend of rising inflation. Currently, the market prices in a 39% probability of a rate hike in October, down from 45% before the PCE release; and a 90% probability in December. The yield on 2-year US Treasury notes dipped slightly after the PCE announcement and then rebounded, while the 10-year yield continued to rise.
