Understanding the pair
In USD/SGD the US Dollar is the base currency and the Singapore Dollar is the quote currency. The rate tells you how many SGD one USD buys, so a rising USD/SGD means the US Dollar is strengthening against the Singapore Dollar.
USD/SGD is an exotic pair: it combines a major currency with that of a smaller or emerging economy, so spreads, swap costs and the size of sudden moves are typically larger than for the majors.
Prices are quoted to 5 decimal places here. One pip is 0.0001, so on a standard lot of 100,000 USD a one-pip move is worth 10 SGD — use the pip calculator to convert that into your account currency.
Liquidity in USD/SGD is usually deepest when both home markets are open — the New York (08:00–17:00 New York time) and Tokyo (09:00–18:00 Tokyo time) sessions. See live session times on the market hours clock.
The world's main reserve and invoicing currency. The BIS 2022 Triennial Survey found the dollar on one side of about 88% of all FX trades, so US interest-rate expectations and risk sentiment ripple through almost every pair.
Central bank: Federal Reserve
Unusually, the MAS runs monetary policy through the exchange rate: it manages the Singapore dollar's trade-weighted value within an undisclosed policy band rather than setting a policy interest rate.
Central bank: Monetary Authority of Singapore
USD/SGD shows how many Singapore Dollar (SGD) one US Dollar (USD) buys. USD is the base currency and SGD is the quote currency. If the rate rises, the US Dollar has strengthened against the Singapore Dollar.
No. It is derived from the euro foreign exchange reference rates published by the European Central Bank once per working day around 16:00 CET. It is useful for reference, budgeting and calculator inputs, but it is not an executable trading quote — a broker's bid and ask will differ.
By convention one pip in USD/SGD is 0.0001 because the pair is quoted in SGD. On a standard lot of 100,000 USD, a one-pip move is worth 10 SGD. Brokers may quote an extra decimal (a pipette).
Liquidity is typically deepest when both home markets are open: the New York (08:00–17:00 New York time) and Tokyo (09:00–18:00 Tokyo time) sessions, and especially where they overlap.
