QUOTE(icemanfx @ Oct 24 2023, 05:20 AM) Bnm foreign reserve supposed to increase with current account surplus. How much bnm foreign reserve has improved in the last few years? If pmx is willing to compromise the national interest for hamas, how do you expect the market to react? RM will soon be worse off than AFC time. Up and down recently but between 2015 to mid 2021 it increased QUOTE(xander2k8 @ Oct 24 2023, 04:50 PM) 3.6 is foregone conclusion by this year already 🤦♀️ so now look at 3.7 for year end instead Local banks are not allowed to trade in USD in the 1st place 🤦♀️ hence why CC are all in RM with with cash advance fee and CC interest on top of it You wanna save only way is money changer but still with a small spread about 1 to 2% range I meant transfer to another bank's savings account, then from there only convert to USD. Anyway, don't think its feasible due to the fees/interest

You need an intervention to prevent the run but there's nothing we are doing to stop it. Their approach is let's see how low it will go.

Their approach is basically TNA 🤦♀️ and just boost domestic economy Capital control will be even worse if they implement it because in their mind cheaper RM is beneficial to those in power 🤦♀️ by giving scribbles

Bnm holding bank rate is not unexpected, mean RM devaluation is almost certain to persist.

QUOTE(xander2k8 @ Nov 2 2023, 05:07 PM) Race to 5 by Xmas 🤦♀️ if Dec rate hike by Feds is coming in place Don't think they will rate hike anymore this year. During war, rates usually are kept low from what I read. So although Fed rates are not low at the moment, they unlikely will raise it.

It is not a war by US in the 1st place 🤦♀️ Fed will hike if tomorrow jobs data if unemployment goes down and the upcoming Core CPI if it goes up 🤦♀️ so there is 2 more readings before next meeting which can turn tables and they will hike if necessary

Already guessed correctly the last 2 times, rates will not hike and have been right. December at this moment I don't think they will hike either but its a bit too early to tell right now

Whatever it is,... stay away from equities, REITs, and risky assets for now. Wait for more clarity.
Go with sovereign fixed income instruments first, no matter how low the returns are.
