# Ringgit expected to trade in cautious mode next week amid US tariff uncertainty | The Star

> The ringgit is expected to trade cautiously next week as US tariff policy remains uncertain after a federal appeals court temporarily paused a lower-court ruling that struck down Trump's tariffs. Analysts expect USD/MYR to stay within RM4.22-4.24, with attention on the June FOMC meeting and US labour and inflation data.
