The Malaysian ringgit is nearing a four-year high against the US dollar, supported by about $4 billion in foreign inflows into Malaysian bonds this year. Analysts expect it could strengthen past 4.1 per dollar, the highest since May 2021, as the central bank holds rates steady.
A stronger ringgit raises the ringgit cost of Malaysian palm oil exports, which can modestly support USD palm oil prices in the short run.
