Kenanga i-Enhanced Cash Fund Report - November 2020

Transcription

1. November 2020 Market Review and Outlook Money Market Review Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) kept the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) unchanged at 1.75% on 10th September, highlighting that its prior rate cuts totalling 125bps year-to-date will continue to provide stimulus for Malaysia’s economic recovery. BNM noted that labour market conditions, household spending and trade activity have continued to improve, supported by fiscal stimulus packages and other financial measures. Meanwhile, the international reserves of BNM amounted to USD105.2 billion as at 15th October 2020. The reserves position is sufficient to finance 8.4 months of retained imports and is 1.1 times total short-term external debt. Money Market Outlook On 3rd November, BNM kept the OPR unchanged at 1.75% at its final monetary policy meeting for the year. In its policy statement, BNM noted that the latest indicators point towards significant improvement in 3Q2020 economic activity, although the recently imposed Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) in several states could affect the momentum of recovery in 4Q2020. While domestic growth is expected to improve further in 2021, the outlook is still subject to downside risks, stemming from uncertainties surrounding the course of the pandemic, both domestically and globally. Meanwhile, headline inflation is likely to remain negative in 2020, before trending higher in 2021, depending on global oil and commodity prices. Given the muted inflation outlook and continued uncertainties ahead, BNM is widely anticipated to remain accommodative to support domestic growth, with the central bank assuring that it would utilize its policy levers as appropriate to enable a sustainable economic recovery.
