: The ringgit opened lower against the greenback as the latest set of strong US economic data strengthened the higher-for-longer scenario for American interest rates, spurring a jump in US bond yields, analysts said.
Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said the better-than-expected US retail sales grew 0.7 per cent month-on-month in September against consensus estimates of 0.3 per cent. US industrial production also pointed to healthy growth with the capacity utilisation rate in the manufacturing sector rising to 79.7 per cent in September from 79.5 per cent previously.
SPI Asset Management managing partner Stephen Innes said the update on US spending could be viewed as a hawkish development and contributed to the bearish sentiment in the US bond market.
