Forex News: Singapore's mainstay exports likely fell 0.5% in seasonally-adjusted terms in June from May following 9.8% drop in previous month, shows Dow Jones poll of economists; decline reflects continued slump in demand for electronics products as U.S. economy stays weak. Economists say volatile pharmaceuticals sector could rebound after recent weakness, but won't reflect shift in trend for overall exports, which creates difficulty for central bank as it combats inflation with tighter policy. In on-year terms, exports expected to decline 1.8% after falling 10.5% in May. Data due 0500 GMT.
