0719 GMT - USD/SGD has scope to extend its downtrend, based on the weekly chart, says Quek Ser Leang, markets strategist of UOB's Global Economics & Markets Research, in a research report. After the currency pair recently broke below support levels such as the 1.3240-1.3270 zone, it fell further to a low of 1.3185 last week, the strategist notes. Although this sharp and rapid decline has led to the weekly slow stochastic indicator being in oversold territory, there's no confirmation of a bullish crossover just yet, the strategist says. Hence, there's scope for USD/SGD to extend its downtrend to possibly break below December 2023's low near 1.3160 before risks of a recovery increase, the strategist adds. USD/SGD is little changed at 1.3237. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
