This desk reads Singapore's 4.00% offshore USD fixed deposit rates as a structural signal. Transactional dollar demand stays fierce while the dollar's reserve share fell from 71% (2001) to 58% (2024). The offshore dollar banking business migrates east toward Chinese state lenders. The prediction: the top 12-month rate drops below 3.50% within 300 days.
