The Malaysian ringgit slipped in early trade on January 31, 2023, to 4.2450/2500 per US dollar as the greenback firmed ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting. The dollar was on track for a fourth monthly decline, with investors expecting US rates to peak soon.
A weaker ringgit modestly lowers the cost of Malaysian palm oil in dollar terms and can support palm prices. The move is small and tied to general dollar positioning, so the effect on feed prices is minor.
