More active trading of USD/Asians and selling of Major/Asians? And more trades done in Singapore now? BBG: Singapore surpassed Tokyo as the busiest market for currency trading in Asia, spurred by growth in the region's emerging markets that has led FX traders to shift more of their top staff to the city state. Singapore FX Market Committee rose to $314.2 billion in April, according to a survey published today. Average volumes in Japan's capital the same month were $277.9 billion, a survey by the Tokyo FX Market Committee showed. Banks in Singapore accounted for 5% of the global $4 trillion-a-day FX market in April 2010. On FX, GBP/USD back down below 1.6300, vs 5-wk highs above 1.6340, with EUR back near day lows, weighed by ongoing concerns in eurozone despite the deal. GBP/SGD at 1.9700-10, focus still on all time lows of 1.9400, as USD/SGD hit new lows of 1.4079 despite talks of aggressive MAS interest. Key 1.20.WL
