An analyst expects the ringgit to face headwinds this year from successive US Federal Reserve rate hikes, with the Fed's funds rate seen reaching 1.75% to 2.00% by end-2022. The ringgit closed at RM4.2075 per dollar and is forecast to trade between RM4.18 and RM4.23 in the coming week, with a downward bias.
Expected Fed tightening supports the dollar against the ringgit, which raises the ringgit cost of imported dollar-priced feed ingredients.
