“Consequently, it gives credence to the rate cut expectation as the US Federal Reserve might want to shift their attention from tamping down inflation to resuscitate growth,” he told Bernama. Mohd Afzanizam said the 2- and 10-year US Treasuries yielded lower by four and three basis points to 4.80 per cent and 4.45 per cent, respectively, while the US equities rallied as lower interest rates could save the corporates from high borrowing costs.“On that score, the ringgit should perform favourably. If we continue to witness weaker data going forward, it could bolster the value of emerging market currencies including the ringgit,” he added.It fell versus the Japanese yen to 3.
