Ringgit dips versus US dollar

Asian currencies, including the ringgit, will be influenced by the United States (US) Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting and China's weaker Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI).

KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit opened easier against the US dollar on Monday on lack of demand for the local currency, but it was mostly higher versus other emerging currencies.

At 9am, the local currency stood at 4.0990/1030 against the greenback from Friday’s close of 4.0870/0930.
