Ringgit hits 28-month high against US$


KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit has continued to strengthen against the US dollar, hitting a 28-month high versus the greenback after the United States (US) Federal Reserve (Fed) kept to its words and delivered a 50-basis points interest rate cut last night, an analyst said.

At 6 pm, the local note surged to 4.2025/2105 versus the greenback from Wednesday’s close of 4.2410/2460, retaining its position as one of the top performing currencies in the Asian region.
