The benchmark interest rate in Singapore was last recorded at 1.26 percent. Interest Rate in Singapore averaged 1.66 percent from 1988 until 2020, reaching an all time high of 20 percent in January of 1990 and a record low of -0.75 percent in October of 1993. Sibor is a reference rate based on the interest rates at which banks offer to lend unsecured funds to each other in the Singapore interbank market. In Singapore, the monetary policy decisions are taken by The Monetary Authority of Singapore (Penguasa Kewangan Singapura). The Monetary Authority of Singapore does not control the monetary system by monitoring interest rates. Instead, it manages the Singapore dollar (SGD) exchange rate against a trade-weighted basket of currencies of Singapore's major trading partners and competitors. On January 28th, 2015 Singapore’s Monetary Authority surprisingly reduced the slope at which the SGD appreciates against main currencies, citing lower inflation expectations due to falling oil prices.

On Monday, April 20, 2020, New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil front-month futures prices fell below zero dollars per barrel (b)—at one point, trading at -$40.32/b (Figure 1)—and remained below zero for part of the following trading day. Monday marked the first time the price for the WTI futures contract fell below zero since trading began in 1983. Negative prices in commodity markets are very rare, but when they occur they typically indicate high transactions costs and significant infrastructure constraints. In this case, the WTI front-month futures contract was for May 2020 delivery, and the contract was set to expire on April 21, 2020. Unless they have made other arrangements ahead of time, market participants that hold WTI futures contracts to expiration must take physical delivery of WTI crude oil in Cushing, Oklahoma. Typically, most market participants close any futures contracts ahead of expiration through cash settlement in order to avoid taking physical delivery, and only about 1% of contracts are physically settled. The extreme market events of April 20 and April 21 were driven by several factors, including the inability of contract holders to find other market participants to sell the futures contracts. In addition, in this case, the scarcity of available crude oil storage meant several market participants sold their futures contracts at negative prices, in effect paying a counterparty to close out of the contracts. ...
