  (Source: MAS) (Source: MAS) (Image credit: Tradingeconomics.com; SGD yield has moved) This month’s SSBs are lower than the potential higher yield for SSBs next month. A general rise in interest rates across all government’s longer-term bonds due to a spike in inflation expectations. With oil hitting USD $100 recently. Inflationary pressures will filter down to the price of services and goods. The current SSBs have an average yield of 1.99% over 10 years. The yields on the first two years are attractive for short term safe haven. If the interest rate do spike up higher, Applicants have the option to redeem the former SSBs to apply for a new issue with only one month of turnaround.
