Singapore's central bank seen easing further in April

Seven out of 11 economists and currency analysts surveyed expected the Monetary Authority of Singapore to re-centre its band for the Singapore dollar's exchange rate level, or widen the band in its regular bi-annual meeting next month. – Reuters
