For the 12 months one, the number playing game is crazy. 2.5% ???

Haha. Dunno. Maybe we are missing something out here. Earlier you all calculated 4.5%+ and now it's like 2.5%

both also don't make sense, i already email a RHB banker for more info.

Our Big Bear is the one that calculated the 4.58% based on available info at that time. I told him cannot be that good ! Ha ha.

Also, the newspaper that I saw about the OPR change/increase is China Press Wed Business section page F8, not Sin Chew.

woh! 12mth FD effective rate only 2.5% u gotta be kidding me

From 1st post, OCBC promo:

Existing Funds - No need stupid CASA thingy.
3 Months - 3.2%

I will have some FD at OCBC maturing this 28th, a Saturday and the branch at my place is open. Accept existing fund some more.

Next BNM meeting is on July 10th, right ? Can someone confirm it ? Thanks !

100% comfirmed

Thanks !

Have UOB FD maturing on Tues. Now thinking of just renew it in UOB for 1 month at 2.9%. Just ignore UOB 3.73% FD promotion until end of June.

Hopefully after July 10, UOB may have FD promotion of 4%. Their promotion vs board rate is about 0.6% increase. So if OPR up by 0.25 to 0.5%, then UOB could have FD promotion close to 4% or more ?

No finance expert, just hoping .................

Might as well put in Maybank for 1mth FD for 3.2%pa

Anyone of you know whether Maybank is open on Saturday?

Ya, except MBB FD promotion is not that good. Just waiting for a good FD promotion from UOB. Also do not have to move from UOB to MBB and back again, not much gain for the 0.3% extra.

So we can expect BNM to increase the OPR rate this time. This is good news for depositors but bad news for others

There is always pro and cons to certain actions.

However it is not 100% for sure yet. It is a matter of time.

Yup. I remember the news I read that on july discussion will be going on and the increase was 0.25% at least.
Well, had to wait till then.
Jz purchased an apartment at penang with blr of 4.2%
the blr might raise to 4.5%..
Pro and cons happening anywhere.

BR kaki,

It was mentioned before that the banker's cheque issued by BR is FOC.

But I kena charged RM2.00...anyone encounter the same experience recently?

Mine also charged RM2 for bankers cheque.

CIMB Principal expects OPR to rise 25 bps by July or Sept

CIMB-Principal Asset Management Bhd is expecting Malaysia's Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) to be raised by about 25 basis points (bps) by July or September.

Speaking to the media during a briefing, Head of Fixed Income for the ASEAN region Wong Loke Chin said the market had already priced in the potential hike.

"The market is looking at a potential hike of between 25 to 50 basis points in the second half of this year - moving the OPR rates up to 3.25% to 3.5%."

"We are looking at the yield curve to remain flat with more demand on the longer end following the potential rate hike," he said.

FD best rate is RHB is it now? 5%?
