# Ringgit dips against greenback after Fed minutes, still among Asia’s top performers | Malay Mail

> The ringgit closed lower against the dollar on Dec 31 at about 4.0580/0620, after hawkish Federal Open Market Committee minutes prompted profit-taking. The currency still finished 2025 among Asia's best performers, and analysts expect further gains in 2026.

## Why it matters

Short-term profit-taking on the ringgit is a small move that does not change the broader trend. The hawkish Fed tone supports the dollar, which can offset ringgit gains in dollar-priced palm oil.
