Wait for fed to further cut rates. Bond returns will be less attractive for investors and they'll start taking low rate loan from US to carry trade in Malaysia even though ringgit strengthens past 1usd=rm3.99. The problem now is ringgit strengthening not proportional to the lowering of interest rate and US bond. Japan had low rate.. people take loan and pump into US bonds and stock market. When US rate goes lower, I assume money market will find Malaysia more attractive.
Carry trade hasn't unwind completely..what we saw on black Monday is probably 50-60 percent..there's another round to go..I hope I'm wrong and it won't happen..but Monday just hold steady...might be another dip..
Fall because foreign investors exit position... federal reserve gonna cut rate...Monday USD will drop...alot of people borrowed Yen to carry trade and invest in other countries because Bank of Japan has historically low interest rate..when USA cut interest rate...USD will weaken against yen...Black Monday might repeat again...so foreign investors exit early convert money back to Yen and return to BoJ before yen rises against USD on Monday.
when you invest you have to read a lot of global news..be ahead of the curve..if you see a good business with good management selling/supporting good products that will not die off.. BUY .. sell when cars no longer need headlights or sky is always bright
