Ringgit extends downtrend to 2-week low


PETALING JAYA: The ringgit extended its slide, falling to its lowest in almost two weeks on Tuesday, as weak commodity prices amid slower growth in China dampened investor sentiment.

The leading decliner in the region, the ringgit, lost 1.4% against the US dollar to settle at 4.2675, the lowest since Oct 7.
