KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit opened slightly lower against the US dollar despite a firmer crude oil price, as global concerns on rising Covid-19 cases continue to trigger some safe-haven flows into the greenback.

Moya said that investors are still bullish over the stocks, but noted that very little positioning would take place ahead of tomorrow’s key inflation data results and the start of the US earnings season.
