Ringgit to trade firmer against US dollar next week, ahead of US labour data

KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit is expected to trade firmer next week following the US labour market data, an analyst said.

Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said investors would pay attention on two key developments, namely the Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) and the unemployment rate - and the expiry of the 90-day pause on US tariff implementation.
