Ringgit appreciates too much too fast is not good for Malaysian business.The effects could be similar to 1997/98 when ringgit nose-dive.

Consider importer and exporter businesses. How to decide on pricing when come to negotiation? Hedging is one effect way, but that involve cost.

You export your products (say to US) in USD, then your dollar worth much less in terms of ringgit, cost of production may be more than your export value. You make a loss.

You import crude oil from Saudi in US dollar earlier, your inventory all are much lower than replacement cost, so refinery has to write off big money to reflect on actual value. Refinery lose money.

Only trading company that import goods from China (especially EV) will make more money, as ringgit appreciates more than RMB. So MR DIY is going to make more profit.

Bull started its journey when foreign capital poured in 8.1 billion into our financial system via purchasing of MGS in August. More inflow is expected after FED lowered interest by 0.5% and continue its downward trend. Coupled with 180 billion FDI for first 6 months in 2024, Bursa surely will out perform regional market.

The strength of RM is on the uptrend basing on the technical chart.
I agreed that the appreciation of RM is too fast and too soon.
It may cause more problem for exporters to do business.
I strongly believe it is good for the present government or BNM to reduce interest rate by 25 bp to reduce the strength of the RM.
It is also good that the appreciation of RM will be gradual and this will give enough time for all business to adjust to this new phenomenon.

There are many advantages of reducing interest rate by 25 bp.
All loan borrowers have lower installments to pay.
This extra money can be used to invest in property, stock market, buy car and etc.
This extra spending will improve the economy of Malaysia and improve GDP further.

I hope the BNM will reduce the interest rate by 25 bp soon.
Thank you.
