Investors can choose to hold onto shares or keep cash on the sidelines. CNMC Goldmine, a gold producer based in Malaysia and listed on the local exchange, recently saw its share price rise. Units of Suntec Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) also climbed. These gains coincide with the Malaysian ringgit strengthening to its highest level in months. Malaysia’s position as a net energy exporter—producing and shipping more oil and gas than it consumes—has supported the currency’s recent performance.
