  "account": "Singapore Dollar (SGD) faces potential consolidation as it consolidates gains against the US Dollar (USD), according to OCBC analysts Sim Moh Siong and Christopher Wong. The earlier SGD gains face a modest rebound in the USD, and position unwinding ahead of key economic data. The US core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index and Jackson Hole event could impact the SGD outlook. July's core inflation in Singapore increased to 2.0% YoY from 1.6%, but remained below the 2.2% consensus expectations. Headline CPI rose to 2.2% from 1.9%, slightly softer than anticipated. The softer-than-expected inflation data is unlikely to significantly alter the SGD outlook, especially after the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) tightened policy in July and with the economy still growing. Near-term consolidation is possible, particularly if the USD experiences a short squeeze before Jackson Hole. Despite the bearish momentum on the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests signs of rising from near oversold conditions. A retracement higher is not entirely ruled out. Key resistance levels for SGD are at 1.2740 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 2026 low to high) and 1.2790 (50% Fibonacci retracement). Support levels are at 1.2680 (76.4% Fibonacci retracement) and 1.2650.",
