The U.S. dollar was changing hands at S$1.2313 late in Asia from 1.2311 late Monday in New York. A light data calendar this week should keep the Singapore currency in a tight range although a surprise in China April trade or inflation figures due on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, could influence the Singapore dollar if these have an impact on the Chinese yuan daily U.S.-dollar fixing rate, Maybank head of foreign exchange research Saktiandi Supaat said. The Singapore unit could claw back some losses against the Malaysian ringgit after traders turned bullish on the Malaysian currency following elections that kept the Barisan Nasional ruling coalition intact, Mr. Supaat said. The Singapore dollar could rise back to around MYR2.4500 from its current levels of around MYR2.4180, he said. Singapore government bonds were little changed Tuesday.
