Maybank analysts said in a foreign exchange research and strategy report that the Malaysian ringgit and Singapore dollar are the bank's first choice in ASEAN foreign exchange and are expected to perform well in 2026. These analysts pointed out that the fundamentals of Malaysia and Singapore are strong, and the upward cycle of investment and fiscal reforms are expected to continue. These analysts said, “We recommend going long for more fundamental foreign exchange — the ringgit and the Singapore dollar. “Since the spread situation of the Singapore dollar is not very favorable, the ringgit is Maybank's preferred currency for multi-tasking.

According to FactSet data, the US dollar fell 0.3% against the ringgit to 4.0972 ringgit; the US dollar fell 0.1% against the Singapore dollar to SGD 1.2909.
