The ringgit opened lower against the US dollar on January 29, 2021, trading at 4.0500/0560 from 4.0440/0470 the prior Wednesday. Traders attributed the dollar's strength to safe-haven demand, as slow COVID-19 vaccine rollouts weighed on emerging-market currencies.
The ringgit was mixed against other majors.
A weaker ringgit raises the ringgit cost of USD-priced imports and does not directly move feed commodity prices. The move is a routine currency fluctuation with little bearing on feed buyers.
