USDSGD rises as US political uncertainty and election speculations heat up
The USDSGD currency pair experienced a slight increase during the Asian trading session, with the greenback gaining ground due to political developments in the United States. The possibility of Donald Trump winning the presidential election later this year is bolstering the US dollar. Trump’s policies, known for being pro-growth and potentially inflationary, create a favourable environment for the US dollar, which could continue to find support on dips.
In a recent press conference, President Joe Biden confirmed his intention to run for re-election.

This added more uncertainty to the market, further supporting the strength of the US dollar against the Singapore dollar.
