# Ringgit strengthens against US$, court pauses block on Trump-era tariffs » The Capital Post

> The ringgit opened stronger against the US dollar on May 30 after a US appeals court temporarily halted a trade court ruling that would have blocked most Trump-era import tariffs. The US Dollar Index fell below 100 to 99.278, and weaker US data including rising jobless claims and a negative first-quarter GDP revision added pressure.

## Why it matters
