Malaysia's Budget 2022 is expected to be expansionary and to support the ringgit through a positive fiscal impulse. The ringgit strengthened against the US dollar to RM4.139 last week from RM4.148 the week before.

A stronger ringgit lowers the local-currency cost of Malaysian palm oil and related imports, while firm palm oil prices support Malaysian export receipts. Palm oil supply tightness continues to underpin edible oil and meal costs for feed buyers.
