where u get the indications?

u mean private sector?

since public sector already said x% up, bonus, etc...?

if private sector, that's very bad.

purchasing power already destroyed by weak rm and high inflation.

lagi no gaji naik?

Today, rm will most likely drop like a stone. Hence "interesting"

no hope for those hoping 4.0 or 4.5.

just accept 4.2-4.3.

that's not what i am saying, just what the world financial markets are saying.

US market buka and shot up
let's see what's the closing today

crude crashed 6%, now at 37.60.

rm may be >4.3 tmrw.

I mean USD up.

4.27 is not bad.

holding better than colombia but not as well as brazil or mexico or aud.

chance of crude falling further to 35 before stabilizing.
there will be another round of commodity currencies hammering if fed hike rates on dec 16.

Watch out on 17/12/2015...

never say never...

7 Dec 2015 13:20 UTC - 8 Dec 2015 13:25 UTC
USD/MYR close:4.30300 low:4.23183 high:4.30379

no.

happiness would be to see extremes like 4.0 or 4.50 but that's not happening, no luck.

either way is ok... rm weaker i gain something.

rm stronger, i buy fx.

becos next few years, rm is not going anywhere pretty.

there has been nothing substantial being invested now that will bring big $ benefits in the years to come.

talents leaving, fdi no confidence, non-functioning gomen.

selling prime land, other assets and more debt won't help the rm.

oil/gas prices will stay low for 2-3 years, imo.
4.2-4.3 like now, i do nothing, even.

Just curious, why 17/12/2015?

USD1 = 4.3022

Reach 4.44 i will remit another USD10k back to malaysia. hopefully the FED will raise rate this week and this will pressure BNM to raise the OPR. Then we will have chance to see bank promo FD at 5%!
