Ringgit falls against the US dollar at opening

THE ringgit eased in the morning session against the US dollar on lack of buying interest. 

At 9.06am, the local unit was quoted at 4.3430/3530 against the US dollar from 4.3360/3410 registered at 6pm yesterday. 

AxiCorp’s chief market strategist Stephen Innes said sentiment could pivot more favourably on a robust read on China’s retail sales report due out later this morning. 

Against the British pound, the ringgit eased to 5.3063/3194 from yesterday’s 5.3003/3069 and appreciated against the Singapore dollar to 3.0490/0567 from  3.0503/0547 yesterday

The local unit was marginally higher versus the Japanese yen to 4.0453/0553 from 4.0569/0627 but fell vis-a-vis the euro to 4.6917/7030 from 4.6859/6931 previously. – May 15, 2020, Bernama
