IPOH (March 15): The ringgit is expected to surge to 3.80 against the US dollar in the near term, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.
The Prime Minister said his optimism emanated from positive indicators like the nation's strong economic performance, as well as the country's export value of more than RM80 billion in the first quarter of this year.
"Our currency yesterday dropped slightly to 3.90 from 3.89 (against the US dollar). InsyaAllah, in the near term it may rise to 3.80.
“In terms of currency value, ours is among the best performing currencies as several months ago the ringgit had weakened to 4.49. But it will surge to 3.80 soon," he said when addressing the Prime Minister’s Budget 2018 with People-Civil Servants programme attended by over 5,000 people, here today.
This is the fourth edition of the programme in Najib’s quest to share the country's success stories and explain various government policies that had been and will be implemented.
Najib was greeted on arrival at the Allied Health Sciences College, Tanjung Rambutan near here by Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir and State Secretary Datuk Seri Abdul Puhat Mat Nayan.
The Prime Minister described the rating affirmation of three international bodies, namely Fitch, Moody’s and Standard & Poors on the government administrative capability recently as not an ordinary recognition.
He said the three international rating agencies had visited the country to carry out an in-depth study in terms of facts and figures before affirming Malaysia ratings at ‘A’.
"Our country ratings was affirmed at ‘A-’, Singapore may be higher but we are in Group A, (while) Italy at B, Greece was worse, Russian at B. So, if people said we will go bankrupt, it is just common sense that Group B will go bankrupt first. How can A go bankrupt before B.
“During the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997, our reserve was at US$20 billion, but the bankrupt story did not surface then. Now our country’s reserve stood at US$103 billion, a five-fold increase from before," he said.
He said the value of national loans against Gross Domestic Product also declined from 54 per cent to 50.8 per cent.
If you plot the chart, you will see today's indicators. To be conservative, near term TP is 0.57, based on earlier trends and similar market conditions. Breaching this will take it to 0.62, with caveat on disruptive news like oil price drop and Trump's nonsense
Very funny from Goverment to predict a strong ringgit yesterday to toutch 3.80 and just yesterday the ringgit shows weekening from 3.9020 to 3.9280.lol..
Jokers like hohong only come back and spit when price is down but say nothing when price is up. Miserable people.
Again, fundamentals intact. Won't bother too much on the price fluctuations in this quarter. Will review again only after Huaan's first quarter. 2 more weeks to close their quarter with great results. We have already seen the metallurgical coke price from Jan and Feb - well above rmb2200. We have also seen the coke price for Jan and Feb - around rmb1300. All similar with previous quarter. And previous quarter huaan reported gross profit is 30mil. Would expect roughly the same for this quarter if not more due to higher demand in China.
Dont worry too much about water-splashers. If your stock fundmental is intact and nothing else changes, then you are on track. Its current price vs NTA and book value is enough to bet on till 0.55
Huaan share now 0.430 is same as Dnex, how come? Huaan revenue and profit is more than 3 time compared to dnex! Also Huaan have issued less 40% less shares! Huaan share is realy undervalued and by now is totaly oversokd above current price..buy more and hold.
Betta68 Huaan share now 0.430 is same as Dnex, how come?
Chart & price manipulation for the benefits of major shareholders...before the death of this "percieved" bull-run worldwide.....the next time these people want to cash out at these prices will be ...5 years time.....can they wait? or let their children cash it?
I still Feel that counter base on good fundermental only carry 40%, 60% depend on those fund manager , Operators etc goreng up & down . Pls comment . I may be wrong .
Someone should talk to these opperators that they should buy low and sell high, not otherway arround!!! There was not enough shares sold at 0.39, and they had planty of time to sell it at 0.430, so why now? They want those who queu to sell at 0.435 to lower down their queu,,, this is why i guess.
is so manipulated, why bring down the share so low ? is it because they taking advantage of panic sentiment and US turmoil to make people believe that this share is gone to the wind and quietly they know that one fine day this share will fly to 0.7 and they make $$$$...? Possible theory ?
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
