Singapore Dollar Strengthens Slightly on Prospects of Tighter MAS Policy -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-16

0313 GMT - The Singapore dollar strengthens slightly against its U.S. counterpart in Asian session on prospects of tighter policy. The Monetary Authority of Singapore could be "assessing whether the energy shock proves temporary or persistent," OCBC Group Research strategists say in a note. "A more sustained rise in energy prices could reduce the scope for policy patience and we opined that all options are on the table," the strategists say. Market pricing also appears to have started to reflect tentative expectations of a tighter MAS policy stance, they add. The U.S. dollar is 0.1% lower at S$1.2813, FactSet data show.
