Ringgit opens higher on US rate cut expectations


KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit opened higher against the US dollar and most major currencies on Wednesday, lifted by growing expectations of a US interest rate cut amid weakening consumer confidence and concerns over rising prices from escalating tariffs.

At 8 am, the local unit strengthened to 4.2060/2265 from Tuesday’s close of 4.2160/2210.
