Ringgit opens higher on improved sentiment


KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit rose against the US dollar in early trade Monday as improved market sentiment following the certainty in Malaysia’s political environment helped lift investors’ risk appetite.

At 9 am, the local note stood at 4.2300/2340 versus the greenback compared with last Friday's close of 4.2380/2400.
