Analysts predict the Malaysian ringgit will face uncertainty and trade mixed in the first half of 2025, driven by market conditions in the United States. They expect the ringgit to remain between RM4.50 and RM4.60 against the US dollar in the next one or two months. The Federal Reserve's decision on interest rates and geopolitical factors, such as potential conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, will also influence the ringgit's performance.
PETALING JAYA: Ringgit dijangka terus berdepan ketidaktentuan dan akan didagangkan bercampur-campur bagi suku pertama tahun ini, didorong oleh keadaan pasaran di Amerika Syarikat , kata penganalisis.
Katanya, Rizab Persekutuan AS kini sedang dalam proses membuat keputusan sama ada akan meneruskan lagi pemotongan kadar faedah atau pun kekal pada kadar semasa. Tambahnya, faktor geopolitik iaitu kemungkinan peperangan yang lebih giat di Asia Barat dan Ukraine juga akan mendorong dagangan pertukaran mata wang, selain krisis di Laut China Selatan.
