Analysts expect the ringgit to trade between 4.12 and 4.16 against the dollar next week, pressured by rising Covid-19 cases and a lack of positive catalysts. Malaysia's consumer price inflation came in below forecast at 4.7%, against the 4.9% expected by markets.
The ringgit outlook is tied mainly to Covid developments and oil prices, which has limited impact on feed ingredient supply or demand.
