Meanwhile, MIDF Research said the US dollar appreciated against major currencies last week as the US Dollar Index rose to a three-week high of 104.15, or 2.0 per cent higher than the previous week. "The stubbornly high inflation in May 2022 led to increased expectations for the US Federal Reserve to remain aggressive to tighten its monetary policy in the upcoming meetings,” it said in a note today.The local note rose against the British pound to 5.3892/3910 from Friday’s close of 5.4784/4822 and strengthened versus the Singapore dollar to 3.1770/1783 from 3.1856/1880 at the end of last week.
