| EV008 | event | 25 | Dominant structural force for USD/SGD — MAS band management is the single most important price driver; the central bank literally manages the exchange rate via the S$NEER band with a persistent appreciation slope. In consolidation phase, this policy anchor has even higher weight as it provides the gravitational pull. | high | 2026-03-13 | EV008,SF001,SF002,SF003 |
| EV009 | event | 15 | GDP at 6.9% YoY in Q4 with 2026 forecast upgraded to 2.0-4.0% provides the fundamental underpinning for MAS to maintain or even steepen its appreciation bias. Strong growth makes SGD appreciation sustainable rather than just policy-driven. | high | 2026-03-13 | EV009,SF005,SF006,SF007,SF008 |
| EV010 | event | 15 | NFP -92K and unemployment 4.4% represent the most significant US data deterioration in years. This is a leading indicator of economic weakness that markets are actively pricing; it undermines the "US exceptionalism" narrative that supported USD in 2024-25. | high | 2026-03-13 | EV010,SF009,SF010,SF011,SF012 |
| - | event | 12 | Hot PCE prevents Fed from cutting to support the weakening economy — creating a policy trap. For USD/SGD, this is double-edged: it keeps rates high (USD+) but signals stagflation (USD-). Net impact slightly USD-positive near term but increasingly negative as stagflation narrative builds. | - | 2026-03-13 | - |
| EV012 | event | 10 | Actively observable in real-time: SGD strengthening while most Asian currencies weaken amid war/risk-off. This behavioral premium is unique to SGD in the region and provides a floor under SGD even in risk-off environments that would normally hurt Asian FX. | high | 2026-03-13 | EV012,SF016,SF017,SF018 |
| EV014 | event | 8 | Forward-looking event risk with clear directional asymmetry. If oil shock persists, MAS could steepen appreciation; if it fades, MAS maintains current bias. The asymmetry is SGD-positive (no scenario involves MAS easing). | medium | 2026-03-13 | EV014,SF003,SF004 |
| EV004 | event | 7 | Real economic drag (est. -0.2-0.3pp GDP, +0.3-0.5pp CPI) but markets are pricing this as manageable given SG's fiscal buffers and MAS policy tools. Weight lower than might be expected because MAS treats oil-driven inflation as a reason to tighten, not ease — perverse SGD-positive response. | medium | 2026-03-13 | EV004,SF019,SF020,SF021 |
| EV011 | event | 5 | Q4 at 1.4% vs 4.4% Q3 confirms slowdown trajectory. Weight below labor data because GDP is backward-looking and Q1 could rebound. But the trend supports medium-term USD weakness narrative. | high | 2026-03-13 | EV011,SF022 |
| - | event | 3 | De-escalation reduces risk premium; modestly USD-negative as safe-haven demand fades. But also removes Singapore's oil vulnerability, which is mildly SGD-positive. Net small effect; war timing uncertain. | - | 2026-03-13 | - |
