The ringgit opened lower against the US dollar today on a lack of interest as the greenback remained firm against emerging Asian currencies, dealers said.

At 9.03am, the local unit was quoted at 4.2980/3050 against the dollar from yesterday’s 4.2960/2910.

The ringgit was also lower against other major currencies, except for Japanese yen.

It depreciated against the euro to 4.7196/7290 from 4.7007/7074 yesterday, slid against the Singapore dollar to 3.0696/0763 from 3.0607/0651 and declined vis-a-vis the pound sterling to 6.5863/5983 from 6.5566/5659.

The local note was up versus the yen to 3.5544/5611 from 3.5584/5628 yesterday.
