Ringgit closes easier against US dollar as greenback gathers strength


KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit ended easier against the US dollar after closing in negative territory last week due to the United States (US) Nonfarm Payroll (NFP) softer July figures, an analyst said.

At 6 pm, the local note eased to 4.5575/5625 against the US dollar compared with 4.5515/5565 at last Friday’s close.
