Ringgit to continue its uptrend against the US dollar in first week of January 2023

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 31 (Bernama): The ringgit is likely to continue its uptrend against the US dollar this week, trading between the 4.38 and 4.41 level for the first week of the new year on the back of buying support from locals upon the ringgit’s weakness, said an analyst.

SPI Asset Management managing director Stephen Innes said expectations remained extremely bright for the ringgit as one of the favourite expressions for the China reopening, given that Malaysia is a big consumer goods exporter into the country and a keen tourist destination for Chinese tourism.
