The ringgit opened higher against the US dollar after Malaysia's advance estimate showed third-quarter 2026 GDP growth of 5.3%, ahead of expectations and following 6% growth in the previous quarter. The currency traded around 4.08 per dollar, with gains against the euro and sterling and mixed moves against the yen and ASEAN peers.
