# Ringgit seen holding above 4.20 next week as investors eye US data and Fed signals | Malay Mail

> Analysts expect the ringgit to trade in a tight range with an upward bias next week, holding above 4.20 per US dollar. The outlook depends on US second-quarter GDP data, the Fed's policy path, and comments from Fed officials. Stephen Innes said a dovish Fed tone could moderate the dollar and strengthen the ringgit.

## Why it matters

A firmer ringgit would lower the local cost of dollar-priced feed imports, but the outlook is a forecast tied to US data and Fed signals. Buyers should watch these releases for input-cost direction.
