Ringgit opens marginally higher against US$ despite rising risk sentiment

KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit opened marginally better against the US dollar today despite the further strengthening of the greenback’s appeal as a safe haven currency following the chaos in Russia over the weekend, dealers said.

At 9 am, the local unit rose to 4.6725/6790 versus the greenback compared to 4.6760/6805 at last Friday's close.
