KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit opened firmer against the US dollar, backed by rising crude oil prices amid the higher number of Covid-19 cases in Malaysia.
At 9am, the local note rose slightly by 45 basis points to open at 4.1850/1890 against the greenback from 4.1895/1940 at last Friday’s close. Bank Islam Malaysia Bhd economist Adam Mohamed Rahim said the ringgit was expected to get some support from the strength in Brent crude oil price due to the drop in crude stockpiles, which reinforced views that oil demand was picking up with the start of the US driving season.“Henceforth, this could cushion the pressure coming from uncertainties related to the pandemic with Asia facing its latest wave of infections,” he told Bernama.
The number of new daily Covid-19 cases in Malaysia remained above the 9,000 mark with 9,105 infections reported yesterday, bringing the cumulative number of cases to 836,296.The local note slipped versus the British pound to 5.8176/8231 from 5.7798/7860 at Friday’s close, depreciated vis-a-vis Singapore dollar to 3.0970/1002 from 3.0953/0991, and fell against the euro to 4.9697/9744 from 4.9667/9720.Subscribe to our newsletter and get news delivered to your mailbox.

Covid-19: Over 2,300 health workers infected, but none had severe symptoms, says Adham BabaPUTRAJAYA (Bernama): A total of 2,341 fully-vaccinated healthcare personnel have been infected with Covid-19, but no one had severe symptoms. Do we have a control group of frontliners to make such claim? “In a clinical trial, the group that does not receive the new treatment being studied. This group is compared to the group that receives the new treatment, to see if the new treatment works.” Vicious cycle. Lockdown to break chain of transmission.
