US dollar strengthens, ringgit slips

Local note opens lower against greenback as investors seek safe haven currencies amid economic uncertainty

KUALA LUMPUR – The ringgit opened easier against the US dollar today as investors continued to favour safe haven currencies in light of the current cautious economic outlook, an economist said.

At 9.05am, the ringgit depreciated to 4.7125/7150 versus the greenback from last week’s close of 4.7110/7145.

Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said the ringgit is expected to trade in a narrow range as the United States Federal Reserve is likely to keep its rate steady in the near term.

“The next Federal Open Market Committee meeting will be held at the end of next month. In the meantime, there will be a lot of permutation in the direction of the Fractional Flow Reserve,” he said today.

Meanwhile, the ringgit opened higher against a basket of major currencies, appreciating against the Japanese yen to 2.9497/9515 from Friday’s close of 2.9648/9671, strengthening vis-a-vis the British pound to 5.9566/9598 from 5.9594/9638 and rising versus the euro to 5.0386/0413 from 5.0394/0431 previously.

It was also mostly higher against its Asean peers, rising versus the Thai baht to 12.8074/8191 from 12.8495/8639 last Friday and improving against the Singapore dollar to 3.4766/4787 from 3.4785/4814 previously.

However, the local note went down vis-a-vis the Indonesian rupiah to 286.4/286.7 from 286.3/286.7 at Friday’s close and depreciated against the Philippines’ peso to 8.01/8.02 from 8.00/8.02 previously. – June 24, 2024
