# Ringgit strengthens as easing US-Iran tensions weigh on US dollar

> The ringgit strengthened to RM4.0725 per US dollar as hopes for a US-Iran diplomatic breakthrough reduced demand for the greenback. The US dollar index fell 0.27% to 101.613. Iran's national security chief said Washington's response was unsatisfactory, so a deal remains uncertain.

## Why it matters

Lower safe-haven demand for the dollar and easing Gulf tensions weaken crude oil's risk premium, which eases input costs for feed. A softer dollar can also support dollar-priced commodity imports for Malaysia.
