USD/SGD Technical Analysis for Singapore binary options 

Introduction

The Singapore dollar starts to show strength against the US dollar after a bullish trend that started last year May ’18. The pair currently hangs by a thread as it rests on a moving average from the higher monthly time frame. Join us this week to get our opinion on the critical fundamental and technical patterns that decide the price direction.

Singapore Consumer Price Index 

This index released on Monday by the statistics Singapore is often used to gauge inflation as it shows the cost of procuring goods and services by average consumers. 

Singapore Industrial Production 

The Department of Statistics in Singapore released the readings of the industrial production index this week Tuesday. This reflects variations in the volume of physical output of Singapore’s mines, factories, and utilities.

Growth in industrial production indicates a growth in the economy and consequently the growth of the Singapore dollar.

United States Retail Sales 

The US Census Bureau release figures based on the total measured receipts of retail stores. Through changes in these figures, speculators and trades are able to project consumer spending.

Greater actual values are regarded as positive for the Singapore dollar, while a low reading leads to a bearish foreign exchange.
