OK then.

How about these rates:

Currency | 1-month | 3 months | 6 months | 12 months

AUD | 4.50 | 4.65 | 4.85 | 5.30

Still, do these advertised per annum rates refer overall return rate or the return in the denominated currency before converting back to MYR?

interest paid doesn't matter to which currencies it refers to (AUD/myr). x% of RM/AUD is still the same. (assuming the buying & selling rate is the same)

No brainer to Foreign FD, enter low, sell high. that's all. matter of catching the right timing

Anyways, AUD is sky rocketting these few weeks

For those who had bought @ 2.7x/ low 2.8ish , would have made some handsome returns as it's hitting 3.00 soon.

Eg; bought @ 2.75, if resell @ 3.05, gain= 10.9% . just from the conversion rate, have not factored in %interest

Is it suitable to invest in AUD for fixed deposit? I saw the AUD is very high now.

Spread of buying/selling is around 0.083. So, u hav to regain that amount before making any profits.
But then again, interest rate for AUD is high

Do consider NZD, i'm targetting n monitoring it. Should be quite a good entry (for a relative medium-long term) as RBNZ jus announced a -0.5% to 2.5% interest today

I would like to put in Singapore dollar FD for really long time. Let say 10 years. Is it recommended?
