First, Christmas is round the corner.
Secondly, maybe not the most to most shoppers are exchange rate, especially if it is a one-off purchase.
Being a trader and investor, I guess this is some kind of occupational hazard.
Chart tells me it is likely to fall further to 1.344 but at current rate, it is much better compared to March this year when it was at a high of 1.465.
Buying a product at US$100 would require me to part SGD 134 compared to SGD146 , a savings of SGD12. So, if you can wait, consolidate your shopping list and as time passes, nearer to the festive season, the merchants might dangle more carrots for you.
So that is best of both world, haha.
Will I short now ? No, the RRR is not worth it and the chance of rebounding is higher now....
