USD Weakens

Over the past two days, the US Dollar has weakened drastically, falling up to 0.1 points but luckily, by this evening, it bounced a little to close at 3.58206 MYR to a Dollar.

My friend told me that the USD is expected to drop more but I hope it's not true even though the signs are there. This month, I have yet to withdraw any funds from PayPal so I am hoping that the Dollar will hold firmer until I do. As you know, a little gain here and a little gain there would add up.

At 0.1 lower, I calculated that for every withdrawal of MYR1500, I would be losing an additional US$10 and that is a pretty hefty "service fee", even though this is "service fee" and not PayPal service fee.

Anyway, if it falls, it falls. There’s really nothing much that we could do but hope that it goes back up.
