Lack of buying interest sees local note easing against greenback. FMTNews Ringgit

KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit eased in the morning session against the US dollar on lack of buying interest.

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

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.
