The ringgit is expected to appreciate modestly next week and trade between RM4.04 and RM4.06 per US dollar, with US inflation data, oil prices and global equity-market pressure among the factors affecting its direction. Malaysia’s central bank kept its policy rate at 2.75%, and local industrial production and labour data are also due.
Lower-than-expected US inflation could weaken the dollar and support the ringgit, while oil prices and global risk sentiment may limit gains. Currency changes affect the local cost of imported feed and agricultural inputs, but the article describes a forecast rather than a new supply shift.
