Ringgit falls against US dollar at close after recent gains


KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit fell against the US dollar at the close on Wednesday following recent gains and after the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes of its last meeting showed that the American central bank will remain cautious in its approach to monetary policy, said an analyst.

At 6 pm, the ringgit weakened to 4.6735/6805 against the greenback from Tuesday’s close of 4.6505/6560.
