(Kuala Lumpur, 24th News) The US presidential election has entered a heated stage, with economists predicting the candidates' impact on the Ringgit. Ludovic Subran, Chief Economist of the insurance institution Allianz, expressed that if Ho Jinli is elected, the Ringgit will regain momentum and could rise another 5% by the end of the year.
Victor靓汤 : It's simply nonsense. If Trump takes office, he has even said he wants 0 income tax, 20% tariffs across the board, and weaken the dollar to boost exports. With this logic, if Trump takes office, the Malaysian Ringgit will only appreciate, not depreciate.
Money_Never_Sleeps Victor靓汤 : It seems that the investment by Allianz is not very reliable.
新柔廖淡馬103157933 : If Trump is elected and imposes tariffs, it will depend on whether the tariffs are collected or not. If they are collected just right and do not significantly increase usa inflation, the extra tariffs will temporarily strengthen the dollar, which can also curb inflation, relying on the increased purchasing power of the dollar.
If they are not collected just right, or if there are too many, then significant inflation in the USA could be the prelude to a great depression.
The essence lies in whether to believe in international free trade or believe in economic and technical bureaucracy.
xxChrisss : No matter who is elected, the dollar will soar for a while.
