Ringgit to ease slightly vs US dollar in quiet trade


KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit is expected to ease slightly against the US dollar next week amid subdued demand ahead of the long holiday break, said an analyst.

Axi chief global market strategist Stephen Innes said improving risk sentiment and higher oil prices should see the ringgit trade more favourably next week, but activities should be light as traders move into full bore holiday mode.
