    THE recent weakness in the US dollar has spurred strength in the Singdollar, a development that spells good news for both Singaporeans going on holiday and for importers.

    At around S$1.28 to the greenback, these levels have not been seen since October 2014.

    As at 8.45 pm on Wednesday (Sep 25), the Singapore dollar was trading at 1.2847 per US dollar, according to data from Yahoo Finance.
