Singapore Unemployment Rate Prel (Q3) 2% (Prev. 1.9%)
Newsquawk ·
Singapore Unemployment Rate Prel (Q3) 2% (Prev. 1.9%) Singapore's jobless rate operates in a structurally low band, and moves of a tenth of a point there have historically carried less signal than the direction of travel across consecutive quarters; a single preliminary uptick after a long stretch of stability is normally read as noise until the final print and the next quarter confirm or reverse it. The preliminary release is based on partial data and is revised more often than not, which is why the final estimate tends to draw the cleaner read. The more policy-relevant distinction is between citizen and resident unemployment and the overall rate, and between a rise driven by labour-force entry and one driven by layoffs; retrenchment figures and vacancy ratios in the detailed release are what have historically separated benign drift from genuine softening. For MAS, the labour market matters mainly through its feed into wage and services inflation, and the exchange-rate-centred framework means the transmission runs through core inflation persistence rather than through a policy rate decision. The follow-ons are the final print, the retrenchment detail, and any shift in MAS rhetoric toward the next scheduled policy window. 29 Oct, 08:59 Italian Unemployment Rate (Sep) 6.3% vs. Exp. 6.2% (Prev. 6.2%) 28 Oct, 20:55 US Market Wrap: Stocks gain as tech climbs while Dollar takes a hit post Fed 28 Oct, 18:22 FOMC SNAP ANALYSIS: Fed holds rates, as expected, with two hawkish dissenters as attention turns to the presser 28 Oct, 17:02 PREVIEW [REPOST]: Federal Reserve Rate Decision due Wednesday, October 28th at 18:00GMT/14:00EDT 28 Oct, 15:05 Newsquawk European Market Wrap - 28th October 2026 [MARKET ANALYSIS] DXY is slightly softer following a decline in yields and in-line PPI data 40 min ago Australian PPI (Q3 YY) 3.6% (Prev. 3.6%) 2 hours ago Australian PPI (Q3 QQ) 1.1% vs. Exp. 1% (Prev. 1.3%) 2 hours ago South Korean Retail Sales (Sep MM) 3.6% (Prev. -1.8%) 3 hours ago PREVIEW: BoJ Rate Decision Scheduled for Friday 30th October 2026 anytime after 02:30GMT/22:30EDT 4 hours ago US Market Wrap: AI jitters hit tech as Alphabet earnings disappoint; bonds rally 6 hours ago Brazilian Gross Debt to GDP (Sep) 82.9% (Prev. 82.9%) 9 hours ago US Equity Open: Software rout and Alphabet slump weigh on indices; Treasuries rally and metals slip 12 hours ago US Treasury Secretary Bessent says the GDP number was great 12 hours ago [REFILE] PREVIEW: ECB Policy Announcement due Thursday, 29th October 2026 at 13:15GMT/09:15EDT 13 hours ago US GDP Sales Adv (Q3 QQ) 1.7% (Prev. 2.8%) 14 hours ago US Initial Jobless Claims (Oct/24) 194.0K vs. Exp. 199K (Prev. 195.0K) 14 hours ago Irish GDP Growth Rate Prel (Q3 QQ) 5.5% (Prev. 10.2%) 15 hours ago Italian Business Confidence (Oct) 91.9 vs. Exp. 92 (Prev. 91.9) 15 hours ago Belgian HICP Preliminary (Oct YY) 5.2% (Prev. 4.5%) 16 hours ago
