Since Donald Trump won the election last November, the US dollar has extended its rally. Across the same time frame, the greenback has also strengthened substantially against the Singapore dollar.

Meanwhile, a Hawkish Fed risk is now better reflected in the USD. But tariff risk could continue to keep the USD supported in the early stages of Trump 2.0

So how far can the US dollar go in 2025?

On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Sim Moh Siong, Currency Strategist, Bank of Singapore, to find out more.

Wealth Tracker: How far can the US dollar go in 2025?

 Is hybrid working still productive in 2025?

What was once an emergency measure, a temporary solution borne out of necessity, has now evolved into the heartbeat of modern work culture. 

But the tides of time do not wait for us to catch up. As we stand at the threshold of a new era, we must ask ourselves—has hybrid working truly lived up to its promise?
