  "account": "United Overseas Bank's analysts, Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann, observe that USD/SGD maintained a steady position around 1.2800 on Friday and anticipate the pair to remain in a state of consolidation. They estimate the exchange rate to fluctuate between 1.2790 and 1.2820, with 1.2775 acting as a strong support level. In the upcoming weeks, a slight upward momentum is expected, but it is considered insufficient to push the USD above the 1.2835 mark.\n\nAccording to the 24-hour view, last Friday, the analysts had predicted USD would trade within the range of 1.2785 and 1.2820. The USD subsequently fluctuated within a narrower range of 1.2789/1.2815, ultimately closing at 1.2800, which experienced a minimal decrease of -0.08%. There has been no significant shift in the underlying momentum, and the analysts anticipate that USD will continue to trade within a range, most likely between 1.2790 and 1.2820.\n\nOver the next three weeks, the analysts reaffirmed their previous assessment from October 8th (spot at 1.2795) that \"although upward momentum is re-emerging, it is weaker than before, and USD is unlikely to reach 1.2835.\" Since then, the USD has largely remained within a range, and there is no change in their current outlook. A breach of the 1.2775 level, which has remained unchanged as the 'strong support' level, would suggest that the upside bias has diminished.",
  "summary": "United Overseas Bank’s (UOB) Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note USD/SGD was little changed around 1.2800 on Friday and expect consolidation to persist. Intraday, they see the pair confined between 1.2790 and 1.2820, with 1.2775 as strong support. Over the next few weeks, upward momentum is rebuilding but seen too weak for a sustained break above 1.2835.",
