How could Wong’s warning impact SGD/USD in the near term?
The pair may test the 1.3450 resistance level if growth fears intensify, as markets price in a higher risk premium for Singapore assets. A breach above 1.35 could accelerate bearish momentum.
What technical levels should traders watch on SGD/USD?
Support is at 1.3350, followed by 1.3300. A sustained break below 1.3300 would signal renewed SGD strength, possibly driven by aggressive MAS tightening or a global risk-on shift.
