Malaysia To Change Covid-19 Data Policy

MYR

Spot USD/MYR trades -27 pips at MYR4.1850, with bears looking for a dip through the 200-DMA/Feb 4 low at MYR4.1775/62 towards Jan 13 low of MYR4.1720. Conversely, a clearance of Feb 14 high of MYR4.1945 would encourage bulls to take aim at Jan 27 high of MYR4.2070.

  • Malaysia will depart from the policy of releasing standalone Covid-19 case counts. Health Min Khairy announced that daily infections will now be released the following day along hospital occupancy and ICU utilisation rates.
  • On the data front, Malaysia's monthly CPI report will steal the limelight next week.
