Global Market Volatility: The Singapore Dollar Remains the Region’s Safe-Haven Asset

According to the latest upgrade by Julius Baer, Singapore’s mainboard equities have received a new “Overweight” rating, supported by their attractive yields, reasonable valuations, and the safe-haven status of the Singapore dollar. This highlights the renewed focus of global investors on the Singapore market.

At the same time, the Singapore dollar stands out as the only Asian currency to hold the top AAA rating from all three major international credit rating agencies—S&P, Moody’s, and Fitch.

In a global landscape where capital seeks both stability and growth, Singapore is drawing increasing international attention with its robust financial system and strong currency credibility.
