KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit is expected to stay weaker in the near term, given the optimism that a trade deal between the United States (US) and China, and perhaps the rest of the world, would be achieved within the 90-day pause period.
Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said that the US-China talks by the end of the week may have spurred interest in the greenback.
