we see what 2017 will bring.

not good for rm according to goldman:

i hope they never said trump will never be president too.

and please pray that they are not consistently wrong in their forecasting.

analysts and forecasters do what they do for a job or an income.

that's just what it is - predictions, nothing more.

that guy, he's the owner of his own firm, said this 6 and 9 months ago:

Yes, I noticed that too. It's been flat since late last week.
Invisible hands working to support and not letting it fly either.

Maybank OTC rates for Buy/Sell spread quite high.
Must be making a lot of money now.

that will take some special clandestine skill, doesn't it?!
anyway, speculation is this bank has given up becos "can buy, cannot sell".

The Constitutional Referendum in Italy will be held this Sunday,... if Italian lawmakers choose to exit the EU, will this hammer the RM down further ??

I don't think there is anything to worry about esp EU country like Italy.
The trades there over there is so little compare to China, US, Singapore and other neighboring countries.

But, BNM action on currency trading by foreign banks are worrying.
If they all start to exit, then no wants want to do business in Malaysia anymore.
The declining Ringgit could get trap in death spiral. 

I foresee it to reverse the gains made today next week due to the speculation of the Feds rate hike. It's safe to say that if the Non Farm Payroll and Unemployment rate that would be released today is positive, then the market should be pricing in for a rate hike on the 13th/14th December, right ?

Not so fast to conclude. Our national paper article explain differently....

I hope my holding back to buy USD now and waiting till early Jan is right move. 

To do that have to open foreign currency account. Also terminate FD, no dough. 

Now really looking at investing in some foreign currencies including foreign retail bonds. Planning now for early Jan actions. 

Eyeing S$, A$. Still need to see RM's to gather more info. That include the Reverse REPO that CIMB RM told me about. @wil-i-am any update or PM me.
