My view is for USD/MYR to be in the 4.4-4.5 range in the coming few months.

Reasons outlined by jack2 above.

yes as long as umno in power, myr is hopeless, but holding sgd or usd etc.. the money is not working for us, yes true we can preserve the value of the currency but interest rate is sooo low there, exchange and keep under the bed is even worst.

once i thought of converting all my saving into sgd in Singapore and invest in fsm singapore, but the ut there is not doing well too.

at least keep in myr fd is 3% +,  buy local unit trust like kenanga growth fund etc.. have the potential to get 10% +.

thats the dilemma.

In hindsight, if you had bought SGD/USD and kept it under your bed, you'd have made more than your MYR FD biggrin.gif

No it's not. If you have a USD in FCA, you can straight transfer without going through the exchange at bank. Also, I think it's good idea to change when the controls are in place as we will be getting more USD worth (compare the onshore USD/MYR with offshore USD/MYR).

Of course if you are talking about changing USD > MYR then it's not worth it as you will be getting less MYR/USD changed. That's just my opinions.

If capital control, one may need approval from bnm for transfer.

I'm with icemanfx on this. If you have USD FCA with a local FI, it's easier for BNM to control what the FI can or cannot do.

Whereas if you're holding physical currency, you have the option of traveling out of the country to exchange.

It's not all doom and gloom. USD up or USD down, one can always seek a profit from the markets smile.gif

Latest prediction, from national austrakia bank.
NAB expected that the dollar would fetch as much as 4.85 ringgit at the end of 2017, Julian Wee, senior markets strategist for Asia at NAB and one of the writers of the note, said via email.

Personally think all these guys at the bank predicting FX movements are full of it.

They usually just issue notes echoing the general sentiment of the currency at date of issue.

If MYR trending upwards - "3.80 by end-2017!".
If MYR trending downwards - "4.80 by end-2017!".
