Ringgit ends lower against US dollar


KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit continued to end lower today, despite an increase in the country's exports for June, dampened by the possibility of a US interest rate hike in September, a dealer said.

The ringgit slid 0.6% to 3.8780 to the dollar, its weakest since Sept 2, 1998, a day before the currency was pegged at 3.80.
