The ringgit eased against the US dollar on Friday, September 26, as the greenback gained after stronger US economic data. Weekly jobless claims fell to their lowest since 2022, and second-quarter GDP was revised up to the fastest growth in nearly two years.
Analysts expected renewed selling pressure on the ringgit.
A weaker ringgit raises the local-currency cost of dollar-denominated feed imports, while supporting ringgit returns on palm oil exports. The price effect comes from US macro strength reinforcing a firmer dollar.
