Ringgit likely to trade in a stable range against dollar this week as Budget 2026 boosts fiscal outlook

IPPFA Sdn Bhd director of investment strategy and country economist Mohd Sedek Jantan said that while the greenback remains supported by safe-haven flows and lingering United States political uncertainty, its rally appears to be nearing exhaustion as markets anticipate a potential Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut by late October.
