KUALA LUMPUR, May 20 ― The ringgit rebounded to open slightly higher against the US dollar today on renewed buying interest amid slightly easing demand for the greenback due to a softer US Treasury yield, an analyst said.
At 9.02am, the local note stood at 4.3940/3980 versus the greenback from yesterday's close of 4.4030/4060. Bank Islam Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said the yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which fell four basis points to 2.84 per cent, should offer the beleaguered ringgit some relief today.Besides, he said the US Dollar Index was also down by 1.05 per cent at 102.724 points, making the ringgit more attractive for market players.
However, in another note, he said the earnings guidance among Wall Street firms suggests more reasons for investors to pile into the US Dollar. “Rising inflation and supply chain disruption are the common issues cited that make profit outlook in the near terms looks challenging,” he added.It depreciated against the Singapore dollar to 3.1831/1863 from Thursday's close of 3.1752/1778, decreased vis-a-vis the euro to 4.6480/6522 from 4.6223/6254, and slid versus the British pound to 5.4771/4821 from 5.4584/4621.Advertisement
