Ringgit opens flat against US dollar on external pressure


KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit opened flat against the US dollar today, dampened by external factors as markets are hedging for a hawkish United States (US) Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting outcome due to sticky inflation.

At 9 am, the local note was traded at 4.4090/4160 against the US dollar from 4.4010/4080 at the close last Friday.
