From trade war to currency war? Will RM suffer?


Risk assets and oil prices may be hit, taking down currencies of commodity producing countries, especially the Russian ruble, Colombian peso and ringgit, according to Bloomberg.

MARKETS seem bolder these days, but investors are alert to a potential currency war.

With President Donald Trump lamenting the strength of the dollar and the yuan plunging to 6.80 per dollar for the first time in a year, market players are watching for any potential impact on financial markets.
