THE US dollar (USD) could continue to trend downwards amid positive risk sentiment in markets, which could benefit Asian assets, with little downside expected for Singapore stocks with US exposure, say analysts.
Sim Moh Siong, currency strategist at Bank of Singapore said: "It is still a very risk-positive backdrop; there is still room for the dollar to weaken."
