  "account": "UOB analyst Quek Ser Leang observes that the USD/SGD exchange rate remains slightly down against the US Dollar, currently at 1.2775 before showing signs of recovery. During the day, the pair could potentially revisit the 1.2775 mark, but a support level at 1.2765 is anticipated to maintain its strength. Over the next one to three weeks, further decline in the USD/SGD rate would necessitate a break below 1.2765, heading towards 1.2740. Conversely, resistance at 1.2830 limits upward movement. For the 24-hour period, the USD traded within a narrow range and ended unchanged at 1.2807 on Thursday. On Friday, no new indications were provided, and USD was projected to remain between 1.2795 and 1.2820. Nevertheless, the minor increase in downward pressure does not suggest a sustained decline. However, there is a possibility for USD to revisit 1.2775 again. The next support is expected at 1.2765, but it may not be reached soon. Resistance sits at 1.2805; surpassing 1.2815 would signal a weakening of the current mild downside pressure.",
  "summary": "United Overseas Bank’s (UOB) Quek Ser Leang notes USD/SGD remains under mild downward pressure after slipping to 1.2775 before rebounding. Intraday, the pair may retest 1.2775, but support at 1.2765 is expected to hold.",
