zhisheng : Gold remains a strong option in the current environment of declining interest rates and global monetary easing. As a non-yielding asset, gold benefits when interest rates are low, reducing the opportunity cost of holding it. Additionally, its role as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation makes it a valuable component of a diversified portfolio.
Given the potential for economic uncertainty, gold can serve as a safe haven, protecting wealth during periods of market volatility. Furthermore, central bank purchases of gold and increasing demand from emerging markets add further support to its long-term value. Allocating a portion of your portfolio to gold, either through physical gold, ETFs, or mining stocks, can help balance risk and enhance resilience.

zhisheng : I think it is a interest rate cut.

zhisheng : I'm here, did I miss anything?

zhisheng : i think the share price will increase more than rm14.20. This is because based on current market conditions, I expect Tenaga Nasional (TNB) to report a strong profit growth of 15%-20% in Q3 2024. This growth is driven by a rebound in electricity demand, particularly from the industrial and commercial sectors, as Malaysia's economy recovers. Energy costs have stabilized, easing pressure on TNB’s margins, while the company's ongoing cost control measures and operational efficiency improvements further support profitability. Additionally, potential tariff adjustments and TNB’s increasing returns from renewable energy investments, especially in solar and wind projects, will provide significant revenue boosts. Overall, TNB is well-positioned for robust earnings growth in the upcoming quarter.

zhisheng : I think Maybank, because Maybank has more development potential compared to PBBank, while PBB is relatively conservative. If in a relatively good market, being conservative will not effectively lead to more development.
