The ringgit opened higher against the US dollar on June 28 as risk appetite improved after S&P Global Ratings revised Malaysia's sovereign outlook to stable. S&P projects Malaysia's GDP growth at 6.1% this year and 5.0% in 2023.
The Finance Minister said the outlook had been revised from negative.
A firmer ringgit reduces the local currency cost of dollar-priced imports and palm oil exports. The effect on feed prices is limited because the move reflects sovereign credit news rather than commodity supply.
