Ringgit continues upward momentum against US$

KUALA LUMPUR, 31 March (Bernama) -- The ringgit has extended its upward momentum against the greenback, as the US dollar retreated amidst concerns over the United States' (US) gross domestic product (GDP) data which revealed a lower-than-expected reading, said an analyst.

At 9 am, the local currency strengthened to 4.2015/2050 against the greenback from 4.2030/2055 at Wednesday’s close.
