Global uncertainties push ringgit to open higher against US$

KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit opened slightly higher against the US dollar in early trade as the dollar retreated, sparked by a report hinting at gradual tariff implementations and data showing an unexpected dip in US wholesale inflation, said an analyst.

At 8 am, the ringgit traded at 4.5000/5080 against the greenback versus 4.5035/5100 at yesterday’s close.
