Ringgit edges higher vs greenback, boost from firm oil prices


KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit opened slightly higher against the US dollar this morning, backed by firmer crude oil prices amid market volatility, as the Full Movement Control Order (FMCO) was set to be extended, a dealer said.

At 9.02am, the local note rose to 4.1485/1515 versus the greenback from 4.1560/1575 at Friday’s close.
