SGD hits new high against USD

PEOPLE here planning a US holiday or doing some online shopping in US dollars just got another welcome boost to their personal bottom line.

The Singapore dollar has powered further ahead in its long winning streak, hitting yet another high against the US dollar, just a month after the last record.

According to XE.com, the latest SGD to USD exchange rate is 1.00 USD = 1.26746 SGD.

The latest peak results from a combination of a weakening greenback and expectations of an even stronger Singdollar.

A stronger Singdollar lowers the cost of imports, thus reducing inflation.

At the same time, the US currency is sliding even further amid renewed concerns about the US economic outlook.
