Wondering can we transfer $ from credit card to another bank's savings account (fyi, I don't owe any $ in my credit card right now)? If so any charges/fees? Thinking of buying some USD but my FDs not due.

Was looking at 1 of the bank and they said this is considered cash advance and charge 3-5%? Is that so or am I reading it wrongly?
Thanks

Correct..its cash advance or quick cash.

Borrow from your CC available balance and they transfer the cash to the CC bank savings account. Then you are free to transfer out.

The rate should be lower than the normal CC rate, usually a one time fee which is charged upfront (they call.it 0 interest lol). Make sure u study properly.

50% of my income is from USD. 50% still from RM. I am earning RM and investing in USD or SGD. Not good for me if RM keeps dropping. Buy less.

I was referring to our purchasing power decrease with deprecation of ringgit.

herein lies the problem.

if u look at history, RM has been declining like forever.

but at every point, it's natural to think it will rebound "soon".

yet, there has been no turn, ever.

so, u can figure for next 10, 20 years.
*
MYR is in what is called a "secular" decline vs USD since a long time, which is a very long term trend.

However, its not a straight line decline. Common to have reversals, can be up to 10-15 percent and could last a year or two (eg 2008 to 2011).

When the US cut rates later this year,  MYR is expected to rebound against USD. Is SGD also expected to rebound against USD? If so, what will be the projected impact on SGD/MYR?
*
Im expecting a relatively stable SGD vs MYR when that happens.

Probably for short term, dead cat might bounce. Only when US cut rates. Then you convert back to USS. Double untung.

Yeah, if can drop to below 4.50 then can consider changing back.

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Apr 5 2024, 06:16 PM)
what will happen to RM if inflation jumps by 9% due to petrol subsidy removal??
*
Potentially positive vs other currencies.

Doesnt have to hit 9%, if CPI goes half of that, BNM will be forced to hike. At least 25bp, maybe 50bp. At a time where DMs are cutting rates, will see MYR up.

Secondly, since the cause is subsidy rationalisation, would mean smaller budget deficits and a show of fiscal discipline, another MYR positive.

Of course, locally we will suffer.

Seriously

It's because of US doings (Trump incoming & Fed rates cuts) or because of Malaysia own strength (all the unpopular policies & decisions done is doing good impact overall now)...

Mainly whats happening in US

But there are some Malaysian things like the diesel subsidy removal and the asking GLIC to repatriate some funds back onshore.

This inflow into MYR...

Yes..us bond yield curve is dropping. And making the spread with Malaysia bond narrower.

I managed to buy some USD yesterday at 4.51.
