# Malaysia currency outlook - FurtherAsia

> A Malaysian currency outlook piece says the ringgit faces pressure from a strong US dollar, driven by resilient US data and higher-for-longer rate expectations. It notes Bank Negara Malaysia is keeping a watchful stance and using targeted FX interventions. The article also highlights that oil and palm oil exports are key drivers of the ringgit.

## Why it matters

A weaker ringgit raises the local-currency cost of dollar-priced feed imports, while palm oil export earnings are in dollars. Feed buyers in Malaysia should expect currency-driven swings in input costs.
