Ringgit falls on lack of demand, Fitch's downgrade

KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit opened easier against the US dollar today on lack of demand after gaining higher for the past three consecutive trading days amid firmer crude oil prices, said an analyst.

At 9 am, the ringgit was traded at 4.0830/0880 against the greenback from Friday's close of 4.0580/0620.
