0510 GMT - Monetary Authority of Singapore's July meeting looks increasingly "live" compared with two weeks ago, two economists at BofA Global Research say in a research report. The economists cite Singapore's "strong" 1H 2026 GDP data and recent pickup in global oil prices. In coming days, the economists will closely eye the following for policy signals: economic outlook in the upcoming MAS annual report, authorities' view in IMF's Article IV Consultation, and the CPI outlook due out July 23. "Our base case is for MAS is to deliver a hawkish pause in July and to set the stage for an eventual tightening move in Oct.," the economists add. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
