The Singapore dollar strengthened against the U.S. dollar in the late Asian session on Monday.

Meanwhile, data from Statistics Singapore showed that Singapore's consumer price index decreased 0.3 percent year-over-year in February, exceeding economists' expectations for a 0.2 percent decline. In January prices had fallen 0.4 percent. This marked the fourth consecutive month of decline in prices.

Month-on-month, consumer prices edged up 0.1 percent in February, in contrast to a 0.2 percent fall in the preceding month.

Against the greenback, the Singapore dollar rose to a 4-day high of 1.3749 from an early low of 1.3804. At Friday's close, the Singapore dollar was trading at 1.3789 against the greenback.

If the Singapore dollar extends its uptrend, it is likely to find resistance around the 1.34 area.
