These are the Singapore inflation rates for 2015:
January: -0.4%
February: -0.3%
March: -0.3%
April: -0.5%
May: -0.4%
June: -0.3%
July: -0.4%
August: -0.8%
For
the month of August,
both Education & Food rose by 3.7% and 1.9%
respectively year on year. Inflation has been trending up month on month, most noticeably on Housing & Utilities, but inflation is negative most probably due to the high base last year.
I am still of view that US is going to slowly raise their rates at least once this year so we might be in a state where
inflation is low, but interest rates are ticking up.
