USD/SGD Rises, Backed by Bets That Fed Will Keep Policy Tight for Now -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-27

0352 GMT - USD/SGD rises during Asian trade, supported by bets that the Fed will maintain monetary policy tight for now. The Fed's patience in sustaining its current policy is still a key support for the USD Index, Westpac Strategy Group says in a note. U.S. economic data released so far this week has supported this stance and the central bank's continued data dependency, the group says. However, reduced liquidity could create short-term volatility in forex markets in the run-up to the PCE data release as well as month- and quarter-end rebalancing into the Easter holiday weekend, the group adds. USD/SGD is up 0.2% at 1.3477. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
