The ringgit opened higher on Tuesday as risk-on sentiment and steady oil prices supported demand, trading at 4.1660/1720 against the dollar. Malaysia's August total trade fell 4.6 percent year on year, with exports down 2.9 percent.
A firmer ringgit makes Malaysian dollar-priced imports such as palm oil cheaper for local buyers, which can ease feed input costs slightly. The move is small and driven mainly by broad currency and oil sentiment rather than agricultural fundamentals.
