The ringgit closed higher against the US dollar on July 27 at about 4.52, helped by rising oil prices and the Federal Reserve's 25 basis point rate hike. Analysts said a dovish Fed could push USD/MYR toward support near 4.49, while state elections pose short-term risk.
Currency moves that favour the ringgit reduce the local cost of imported feed inputs, while Brent gains add to energy and freight costs. The net effect on feed prices is modest.
