USD/SGD Exchange rate

EUR/USD turned bearish as Wall Street gives up and major indexes turn red. The pair trades near a fresh weekly low in the 1.0460 price zone. Earlier in the day, the European Central Bank trimmed interest rates as expected, and the United States published discouraging employment and inflation-related data.  

GBP/USD finally broke below the 1.2700 mark in the American session, as sentiment shifted to the worse, following dismal US employment and inflation-related data. The poor performance of stocks and an uptick in Treasury yields boost demand for the US Dollar. 

XAU/USD fell towards $2,680 and remains under pressure as investors diggest US figures and the  European Central Bank monetary policy announcement. Inflation in the US at wholesale levels rose by more than anticipated in November, according to the latest Producer Price Index release. 

Chainlink price surges around 15% on Thursday, reaching levels not seen since mid-November 2021. The rally was fueled by the Donald Trump-backed World Liberty Financial purchase of 41,335 LINK tokens worth $1 million on Thursday.

Equity markets are charging to new record highs, with the S&P 500 up 28% year-to-date and the NASDAQ Composite crossing the key 20,000 mark, up 34% this year. The rally is underpinned by a potent mix of drivers.
