Ringgit closes flat against US dollar

KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit closed a little changed against the US dollar today on lack of fresh buying interest, said a dealer.
At 6pm, the local unit was quoted at 3.9790/9830 against Thursday's close of 3.9790/9820.
The dealer said investors remained in a cautious mode on the back of various factors, including declining oil prices and US bond yield, as well as US President Donald Trump's decision to call off a planned meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.
Meanwhile, the local unit was mixed against a basket of currencies.
The ringgit strengthened against the British pound to 5.3128/3197 from 5.3287/3339 on Thursday and increased against the euro to 4.6606/6665 from 4.6666/6709.
It declined against the Singapore dollar to 2.9721/9753 from 2.9656/9685 and eased against the yen to 3.6348/6391 from 3.6265/6299. — Bernama
