At this point in time, 6 months is too short, I regretted putting into CIMB & Hong Leong 6 months tenure over the past few months as initially I thought the BNM governor was joking in January when she said there is still a lot of room for OPR adjustment and thereafter got shot down for making such a statement.

So on Monday I put in whatever spare cash I had in 3 years BR 3.7% and the worst part is I don't have any FD maturing in February or March.

I'm expecting another cut in the 2nd half earlier by September 2020 in view that Federal Reserve said they still have room for further accommodation; another 50 basis points cut for the rest of the year.

It all depends on several factors.

1. How effective the stimulus package is by May 2020?
2. Is the market condition getting worse from now till May 2020?
3. What FOMC view is after their March 2020 and April 2020 meeting?

That one on September is my personal view.
The one he quoted is a professional view.

2 cuts in the first half is considered steep.

BNM MPC meeting schedule: May, Jul, Sept, Nov
Federal Reserve FMOC meeting schedule: Mar, Apr, Jun, Jul, Sept, Nov, Dec

India situation is different than us.
They were battling for high inflation (official statistic) and rupee volatile fluctuation.

Every country wants to save the economy first.
If economy collapses, it triggers to high unemployment.
If too many people no jobs, it will lead to social unrest.

This is what China is so scared of and has been pumping money to transform the economy into domestic oriented economy.

Fiscal policy: Stimulus package, borrow more money by raising bonds (debts)
Monetary policy: Cut SRR, Cut Interest, Print money, Sell foreign holdings.

Sounds like the bank perceives that it will be another rate cut in less than 6 months

Indeed, some has pointed out that it could be as early as in May 2020.

Went to SCB PJ branch to take up their 4% offer on FD
They say tomorrow onwards drop to 3.8%
Do note that need fresh fund and also for PB only
It is 70% 30% split
70% in FD for 6 months that will get you 4%
30% in PSA Earmark that you need to hit
I every month also hit so no issue

Congrat to become PB customer.

possible cut another 25 points or directly cut 50 points?
comments?

If don't want surprise, 25 basis points cut.
It they want to surprise, it'll be 50 basis points cut. But this could be within investors expectation as Federal Reserve had done it.
I think it'll anything beyond 50 basis points could be a surprise!

It looks like the same as the previous campaign. After the campaign rate finishes, it auto-renews at the normal rate for another equal period.

I never hear of bank will auto-renew to promotional rate once current tenure matures.
Excluding those who got RM to do for you.
