Ringgit ends lower against US dollar


KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit ended lower against the US dollar on Friday, as the greenback strengthened due to robust United States Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index data, dampening expectations of a potential US interest rate cut, said an analyst.

At 6 pm, the ringgit depreciated to 4.7100/7130 versus the greenback from yesterday’s close of 4.7020/7055.
