# Ringgit ends near one-year high vs US$ on Fed cut hopes | The Star

> The ringgit ended near a one-year high against the US dollar on Wednesday, September 17, at 4.1860/1900. Analysts linked the move to expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut, which was largely priced in ahead of the Fed decision. The ringgit was weaker against the yen, pound and euro at the close.
