Satu lagi dari perwakilan 'emerging market' dan tetangga ASEAN, dan sekaligus pengingat dalam ayunan pergerakan indeks khususnya saham-saham yang rentan inflasi agar Anda tidak terjebak dalam gerakan atas ayunan untuk terhempas ke bawah dan seterusnya. IHSG dan sektor yang ramah inflasi akan perkasa, yang tidak ramah/rentan akan di-'perkosa'. Bedanya tipis "a" dan "o", dampaknya yang besar. :d
Feb. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Vietnam’s central bank raised the refinancing rate to 11 percent, joining Asian counterparts in tightening policy to curb accelerating inflation as it increased borrowing costs for the first time since early November. The State Bank of Vietnam raised the rate from 9 percent, effective yesterday, it said in a statement on its website<http://www.sbv.gov.vn/wps/portal/!ut/p/c5/jVHZboMwEPyWfoHXYLB5NJiYw4RwlvISISWKEjVHJUQbvr60qiqFEtLdx9nZnZlFNRr61HT7XdPuz6fmFVWoNteO5B6hCiD2hAU-C0KV45VeujDgL3fxAPAXGwSx6MIgEBueAX5MCS78GGcSj9gySBzwZZAxYmMAMB7cfkYVkHV2YJfo2laqd7r80CfQ5sk1EtH7so8-IkusNmVa2NxW>. The rate was one of three that were raised on Nov. 5, when the base rate was also increased to 9 percent from 8 percent, and the discount rate was lifted to 7 percent from 6 percent. The bank didn’t mention the other two rates yesterday. “This is a first step by the central bank to tighten monetary policy in an attempt to curb inflation,” said Luu Hai Yen, a Hanoi-based analyst at Thang Long Securities Joint-Stock Co., the country’s biggest brokerage. Before yesterday, Vietnam hadn’t raised rates this year and the increase in November was the first since 2009. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aGDYpzYrkPO8 '+'
