MANAMA (Reuters) -Four-times world champion Sebastian Vettel praised Lando Norris as a 'real role model' on Tuesday and said the Formula One leader's open self-criticism was a strength rather than weakness.
KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit ended almost flat against the US dollar today as traders remain cautious ahead of the trade talks between the United States and Japan this Thursday, said an analyst.
SPI Asset Management managing partner Stephen Innes said the market is currently in the wait-and-see mode, monitoring how aggressively the US is pressuring its allies for tariff concessions."If the talks with Japan go smoothly, it might set the tone for a softer diplomatic pivot. If not, we could be in for another round of protectionist tensions,” he told Bernama.
Meanwhile, Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said the Trump administration appears to have been caught off guard by the recent rise in the US Treasury yields and the subsequent weakening of the US dollar, as tariff policies can undermine its safe haven status.
