KUALA LUMPUR: RHB Investment Bank Bhd expects that Bank Negara would call for a 25-basis-point cut in the overnight policy rate (OPR) by year-end to ensure the sustainability of economic growth.
Its head of regional equity research Alexander Chia, however, said the reduction would not further drag down the ringgit, which currently trades at around 4.14 versus the US dollar.
