Ringgit climbs 170 pips versus greenback in early trade


KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit extended its positive run against the US dollar today as a result of a weakening greenback following greater uncertainties on the US government’s import tariffs that led to weak business and consumer sentiment, an analyst said. 

At 8 am, the local note climbed 170 percentage in points (pips) to 4.4100/4250 against the US dollar from 4.4270/4320 at Wednesday’s close.
