Seems no volatile movement after we read about OPR cut. Maybe already past peak trading hours?

Or our interest rate is just a small factor overall?

From my observation, movement of USD/MYR is not strictly during normal hours of BNM.

Some buying/selling occur also during EU/USA trading hours (night/midnight in Malaysia) via something called "Non Deliverable Forward" (which I don't really understand).

So there'll be movement (up/down) even official BNM rates close at local time. That's why I noticed xe.com & Yahoo! finance are showing exactly that.

Wasai,MYR  going North !   

China government is throwing usd and trying to protest Philippine by giving difficulties to China and HongKong business for deal transaction with Philippine.

This will help rm strengthen a bit for some period.

Sometimes, it isn't the ringgit strengthening but USD falling due to rising commodities and continued perceived
low interest by US Fed.

Well, we need to define "holdings" here..a bit more specific because they mean different thing depending
on how people see things.

China has been lightening up their Treasury holdings since last year (down from near 2T level)...  BUT at the same time, they're  using the money to quietly acquire US-based HARD assets (eg. real estates and companies) in US itself.

China still holds the number one spot of US treasuries despite the low yield as foreign debtor (at around 1.2T~1.3T)
Japan is 2nd (1.1T).

China also using the money to buy gold. Dunno why they hoard so much gold is anyone guess... perhaps they
know something bad is about to happen. 

Affin Hwang remained confident that the ringgit's fair value would be between 3.95 and 4.00 this year.

I would love 3.80 and move fund out from MBB GIA-i ! 

and which pariah bank, which bomoh analyst said 3.80 coming?

4.1 more likely...

first part ok. second part is not:

U.S. commercial crude stockpiles fell by 2.3 million barrels to a total of 519.5 million barrels, the Energy Information Administration reported.

Meanwhile, gasoline stocks rose by 911,000 barrels, compared with the Reuters poll forecast for no change. Distillate stockpiles, which include diesel and heating oil, fell by 214,000 barrels, versus expectations for a 600,000-barrel increase, the EIA data showed.

with the news of 1MDB in states, singapore seize $120M of Jho Low. will MYR weaken further ?

How far to South ? I think 4.2 is something that will happen

China has rescued several times.
Does that means we lose the claims for islands on South China Sea and HSR contract is going to them?
