This level of rate is not sustainable and the market knows it. Look at US 10yr yield remaining at 3.5% points to end of rate hikes coming. US recession is a certainty and will come as soon as early next year.

Look at the overnight HIBOR if has collapse from 3.5 to 2.1% as the banking system in HK became flush up with money and few borrowers.

Same will happen in Singapore as economy slows the SORA will plunge ...the FD rate is not sustainable. To pay FD of 4% to the bank needs to lend out at 5% ...there are no takers. They can just get cheap funds paying sora rates.

Will squeeze everyone to compensate the West until the Dollar gets dethroned by the Yuan?

Their selfish action will expedite the dethroning of USD.
The fall of US empire is coming.
Be prepare not to hold too much USD on hand.

Banks must be flush with FD now. Interest rates will not raise much further.

Banka take in 4% fixed deposit by the billions ...People even transfer the CPF monies SRS en masse  .

Now the bank has to lend the money out at 5% to make money. If demand is not there due to economic slowdown ...what happens?

Our CPF has no increase in interest rates yet?

Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?
