The ringgit traded higher against the Singapore dollar to 3.0384/0420 from 3.0410/0458 last Friday but fell versus the yen to 3.9076/9124 from 3.9042/9100 previously. — Reuters pic

“While the ringgit is still cheap and enjoys a yield advantage, the slippery slope for oil prices notwithstanding, the not-so-small matter of the World Government Bond Index by FTSE Russell will occur later this month,” he added.
