    Malaysian ringgit market update

     

    In early October, the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) experienced its most significant jump in nine years, driven by optimism about Malaysia’s economic outlook and expectations that foreign capital will increasingly flow into the country. Maybank analysts noted in their report that "there is more positive optimism towards the ringgit," highlighting that following three years of losses, the MYR is presently leading among emerging market currencies this quarter. The government’s recent initiatives to attract more foreign investments and its efforts to reduce budget deficits by rolling back subsidies are key factors supporting the currency's rise.

    Current forecasts indicate that the MYR is expected to close 2023 within the range of 4.20 to 4.30 per US dollar, as the US dollar has reached its peak value. Analysts suggest that the fundamentals supporting the MYR are robust, particularly with a revival in the tourism sector anticipated to narrow the services account deficit. This positive sentiment is further bolstered by the currency’s perceived undervaluation and the potential for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Price data reveals that the MYR to USD has recently hit 60-day lows at 0.2271, contrasting with MYR to EUR, which reached 7-day highs of 0.2117. Additionally, the MYR is positioned well against the JPY at 35.11, above its 3-month average, attracting attention from expatriates and foreign retirees who see the lower cost of living in Malaysia as an attractive option compared to neighboring countries, particularly in light of tax increases on foreign property purchases in Singapore.

This analysis covers a wide range of factors including economic indicators, geopolitical events, central bank policies, and technical analysis to provide a thorough and current outlook on currency trends.
