In the short term SGD is driven mainly by the MAS-managed currency basket, while CNH responds to sentiment toward China and offshore flows.
The Singapore Dollar (SGD) is issued by Monetary Authority of Singapore. The Singapore and Brunei dollars are interchangeable at par. CNH is the “offshore” version of the Chinese yuan, traded mainly in Hong Kong — hence the “H”.
