USDSGD Outlook and Technical Analysis for Singapore Brokers
Contents
Introduction
Last week, the USDSGD closed bearish at 0.02% forming what is popularly known as a spinning top pattern among candlestick followers, after four consecutive bullish closing bars from previous weeks.
This week like in the past, we’ll be identifying significant macroeconomic news announcements and technical price patterns driving the USDSGD pair on Binomo broker.
Singapore CPI
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a gauge of the shifts in the price of goods and services from the viewpoint of the consumer. It is one of the most significant determinants of changes in purchasing trends and inflation.
A climb in CPI may prompt an improvement in interest rates and a growing local currency. During a recession, however, a climb in CPI may prompt a deepened recession; as a result, a drop in local currency.
Most recent data released on July 23 shows the actual reading at 0.6%, forecast data at 0.77%, while the previous reading was 0.99%. These figures indicate a slightly bearish sentiment for the currency.
Sales of New Homes
The New Home Sales indicator shows the number of sales of new homes annually in the U.S, noting seasonal variations. Drawn from statistics on new house sales, the indicator is of high value in evaluating the health of the economy, as the purchase of a new home signifies confidence in the economy.
A higher than expected reading suggests a bullish/optimistic sentiment for the currency, while a less than expected index signifies a bearish trend for the USD.
Most recent release on July 24 shows that previous reading was 604K, while actual reading was pegged at 646K. Forecast figure was 660k suggesting a bullish/positive inclination for the USD.
