high time it get a little boost, stabilize at 3.73-3.75.

that will ease some pressure off imported prices.

enjoy while it lasts! tongue.gif

Malaysia is vulnerable to a U.S. rate increase because of the relatively high foreign ownership of government debt, while concerns still linger about the nation’s finances and state investment company 1Malaysia Development Bhd. Figures due Friday may show the country’s exports contracted in May, which would be the fourth month they have done so this year, as falling Brent crude prices hurt revenue.

i am very eager to see what the fri jul 3 or jul 5 exports, trade and current acc balances data will be like.
we remember some hotshots been saying weak rm is great for exports and tourism $.
i hope the menteris will not be disappointed.

So if I were to buy singapore reits, I can open a singapore account then?
*
u can get some info or ask questions about sg bank accounts here:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3600727#bottom

u need not necessarily need an sg bank acc to buy sg reits or sg stocks.
with local inv banks, u can now buy/trade sg, us, thai, indon and even hk/shanghai stocks.
times hv changed with the internet.
u just need to read, ask questions or talk to yr local inv bank broker.
some options cost more, some less, some better service, some no service, etc.
depends what suits u most.

I am not interested in buying their reits. If buying their reits so that I can open an account there, so be it. The reit is just extra bonus. biggrin.gif  I just want to park my money some where other than banks in Malaysia. Australia is among my choice but need to take a plane there. Closest is Singapore
*
if u just wanna park yr money in foreign curr, just go to a major local bank.

u can open a fx acc in many major local banks and deposit there.

only that the interest rate may not be exciting.

and... each time u withdraw or deposit, it MUST go thru rm exchange rate on that day.

i.e. u CAN buy SGD or AUD in that acc but CANNOT withdraw in SGD or AUD cash from that bank - that is prohibited by Bank Negara.



i suggest u search and read u in other threads as all of that has been discussed to death, better not hijack this thread.

Fitch ratings is of no help also. Less than 24h, rates went up again.

fitch is a second grade witch doctor.

if it says "f'ed", people will believe it like a disease.

if it says "good", people believe for 24-72 hrs.

becos the underlying fundamentals do not change due to comments from 1 or 10 witch doctors.

millions of investors are the judge, not these rating agencies or bn or najib or bnm or maybank.

It might be a bit long as it is a post in the previous fd thread.
Yup. You guess right. I need to do TT next year. But I am very sure next year will be Usd1= RM4. Might as well save some money where I can.
*
no la... those discussions in fd thread does not relate to normal individuals transferring money abroad.
i tt'ed usd10k a couple of months ago, no problem, just a form to fill up.

u r planning for next year but w/o a usd acc in yr name, where to tt to?
u can use a trusted friend's account, that's one way.

buy n keep cash usd is not a good idea.
by n keep travelers check also bad idea, expensive.

factors incl us rate hike fears, commodity prices...

and trade balance.

weak rm = incr exports? not necessarily.

may 2015: lower trade surplus; exports fell, imports fell.

this data unlikley to help rm.

Malaysia Trade Surplus Narrows in May

Malaysia reported a MYR 5.51 billion trade surplus in May of 2015, slightly down from MYR 5.65 billion a year earlier and matching market consensus, as imports fell more than exports.

Year-on-year, exports declined by 6.7 percent to MYR60.45 billion in May. Sales of all main commodities fell: LNG (-47.9 percent to MYR2.6 billion, accounting for 4.4 percent of total shipment); petroleum products (-28.3 percent to MYR3.80 billion, 6.3 percent share); crude petroleum (-22.1 percent to MYR2.3 billion, 3.8 percent share); palm oil and palm-based products (-7.3 percent to MYR5.3 billion, 8.8 percent share); natural rubber (-42.4 percent to MYR220.7 million, 0.4 percent share); electrical and electronics/E&E products (-0.6 percent to MYR21.1 billion, 34.9 percent share) and timber and timber-based products (-4.5 percent to MYR1.7 billion, 2.9 percent share).

Compared to the previous year, exports to Japan fell the most by MYR 2.0 billion, followed by Australia (MYR -1.1 billion), Taiwan (MYR -527.6 million), Indonesia (MYR-475.5 million) and the US (MYR-269.2 million).
                  
Imports decreased by 7.2 percent to MYR 53.49 billion, mainly due to a drop in purchases of intermediate goods and capital goods. Imports of intermediate goods, representing of 57.6 percent of total imports, fell by 8.4 percent  to MYR 31.7 billion, mainly due to industrial supplies, processed (MYR-1.5 billion, -11.1 percent) and fuel & lubricants, primary (MYR-1.2 billion, -41.7 percent). Purchases of capital goods, accounting for a 14.5 percent share, declined by 5.0 percent to 8.0 billion, due to a decrease in  capital goods (except transport equipment) (MYR-284.4 million, -4.1 percent) and transport equipment, industrial (MYR-131.4 million, -9.7 percent. In contrast, imports of consumption goods, accounting for 9.8 percent share, expanded by 27.2 percent to 5.4 billion, due to an increase of semi-durables (MYR747.5 million, +143.4 percent); food & beverages, processed, mainly for household consumption (MYR212.3 million, +17.9 percent) and non-durables (MYR18.8 million, +10.9 percent).

Compared to the preceding year, imports from the EU countries Singapore declined the most by MYR 674.5 million, followed by Singapore (MYR-672.1 million), United Arab Emirates (MYR-RM659.5 million), the US (MYR-641.7 million) and Australia (MYR-585.9 million).

In April 2015, Malaysia posted a  MYR 6.89 billion trade surplus.
