Is there a reason why banks are cutting down the FD rate after the last OPR hike?

Banks were offering > 4% FD rate before OPR hike, but after OPR hike, the rates are now below < 4%.

What's going on? Banks no longer need cash since they are getting more money from the loans after the OPR hike?
*
Because klibor rate drops.

It is about liquidity and expectation. Previous there was frenzy rate hike across the globe particularly Fed, hence banks were eager to pin down deposit rate to take advantage for rate hike cycle.
But after latest hike of Fed and hint of potential pause in rate hike with sign of economy slow down, the rate hike expectation diminish, instead some predict Fed may even cut rate by year end.

But yesterday PCE number change this expectation dramatically. So next month may see a different scenario. Fed rate hike may not impact directly klibor, but it does put some pressure on other currencies level and liquidity situation.

Let's end here, don't want to deviate too much on FD rate topic. Can always open another topic to discuss because it can be lengthy and many in depth issues affecting interest rate.

Please don't deviate too far away from purely FD rate issue.

For other macro economy matter, one can always create a topic to discuss on it. Thank you.
