The forecast for the USD/SGD remains bearish after the descending Tenkan-sen ended a minor drift to the upside. Despite the disappointment in the Singapore third-quarter GDP report, downside pressure remains due to a weakening US Dollar. Another Covid-19 vaccine, this time from Eli Lilly, was suspended, just one day after Johnson & Johnson announced a halt. The downward sloping Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Cloud keeps bulls in check, with the flatlining Kijun-sen enforcing the Senkou Span A. The CCI moved out of oversold conditions but is in negative territory.
