Singapore's Monetary Authority (MAS) has tightened monetary policy for the second time in three months. This decision, made on Monday, involves increasing the rate of appreciation of the local dollar's trade-weighted value. The MAS cited ongoing volatility in global energy markets and elevated inflation risks as the primary reasons for this action. These risks are linked to the tensions in the Middle East, specifically the US-Israel attacks on Iran that commenced on February 28, which have kept oil prices elevated.
