KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit closed slightly lower against the US dollar on Thursday following a 0.1 per cent rise in the US Dollar Index (US DXY) to 98.245 points despite a weaker-than-expected job openings report in the United States (US), said an analyst.
At 6 pm, the local note eased to 4.2260/2320 from Wednesday’s close of 4.2230/2285.
