USD/SGD Edges Lower as Fed Rate-Cut Bets Weigh -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-24

0446 GMT - USD/SGD edges lower in the afternoon Asian session, weighed by bets for Fed rate cuts which would undermine appeal of U.S. fixed-income assets and demand for the greenback. Weak U.S. economic data released overnight such as preliminary manufacturing PMI have contributed to USD's decline, Maybank analysts say in an FX Research & Strategy note. Fed fund futures now imply 42bps worth of rate cuts this year, slightly more than before the PMIs' release, the analysts say. USD/SGD is down 0.1% at 1.3597. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
