Ringgit rises against US dollar at the close on easing tensions in Middle East
KUALA LUMPUR — The ringgit ended higher against the US dollar, buoyed by the apparent ceasefire in the Israel-Iran conflict, said an economist. At 6 pm, the local note rose to 4.2410/2465 versus the greenback from Monday's close of 4.2915/2980. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said the de-escalation also led benchmark Brent crude oil prices to retreat to US$69.56 per barrel as risks to global oil supply appear contained for now. 'Financial markets are responding with a sense of relief, and risk appetite is gradually returning. 'Still, it's early days. Investors remain cautious amid lingering uncertainties — particularly with the US tariff pause set to expire in early July,' he told Bernama. On the domestic front, Mohd Afzanizam said Malaysia's latest consumer price index (CPI) reading of 1.2 per cent reinforces the view that monetary policy remains tight, with real interest rates rising further. 'In summary, market sentiment may stay guarded in the short term, while policymakers are likely to remain vigilant in balancing growth and stability,' he added. At the closing, the ringgit traded mostly lower against a basket of major currencies. It trended lower against the Japanese yen at 2.9256/9296 from 2.9028/9074 at Monday's close, declined versus the British pound to 5.7707/7782 from 5.7437/7524, but improved against the euro to 4.9225/9289 from 4.9236/9311 previously. The local note trended higher against its ASEAN counterparts. It advanced vis-a-vis the Indonesian rupiah to 259.3/259.7 from 260.2/260.7 at yesterday's close and gained against the Philippine peso to 7.41/7.44 from 7.44/7.46. The ringgit also appreciated against the Singapore dollar to 3.3130/3178 from 3.3188/3243 and strengthened to 12.9793/13.0021 from 12.9998/13.0250 versus the Thai baht previously. — BERNAMA

Ringgit climbs as Trump ramps up pressure on Fed to cut interest rates
KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit extended its gains against the greenback at the close on Wednesday, as US President Donald Trump ramped up pressure on the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to cut interest rates. It has been reported that Trump is considering naming a new Fed chairman early, a move seen as undermining the current chairman, Jerome Powell, who has been reluctant to cut interest rates as demanded by the US president. At 6 pm, the local note inched up to 4.2300/2355 versus the greenback from Wednesday's close of 4.2335/2405. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said news of Trump's intention to name the next Fed chair early caused the US Dollar Index (DXY) to fall 0.60 per cent to 97.093 points. "It remains to be seen how this can be made possible as the current chairman's term will end in May next year. Despite that, the underlying tone is about pressing the Fed to lower the Fed funds rate as soon as possible," he told Bernama. At the close, the ringgit traded lower against a basket of major currencies and ASEAN countries. It depreciated against the Japanese yen to 2.9359/9399 from 2.9070/9120, slid versus the British pound to 5.8141/8217 from 5.7631/7726, and slid against the euro to 4.9597/9661 from 4.9113/9194 yesterday. Against its ASEAN peers, the ringgit declined vis-à-vis the Singapore dollar to 3.3192/3240 from 3.3061/3121, and dipped against the Thai baht to 13.0254/0488 from 12.9584/9858 at Wednesday's close. It eased against the Indonesian rupiah to 260.9/261.4 from 259.7/260.2, and slipped against the Philippine peso to 7.47/7.49 from 7.46/7.48, previously. - Bernama
