The forex markets are throwing surprises in October, as Malaysia’s local currency, the ringgit, outperformed the US dollar on Monday. The decline in the US dollar comes as traders hold weak sentiments, reassessing their stance on the Fed’s interest rate cuts. An economist noted that forex traders possibly believe the Federal Reserve could take more time to reduce interest rates again.

This is adding pressure on the US dollar, strengthening local currencies in the charts this month. The Malaysian ringgit stood at 4.2150/2240 against the US dollar on Monday as the currency marginally traded higher. The DXY index, which tracks the performance of the US dollar, shows the currency dipping into the 102.4 price range. The USD traded a bit higher last month at around 102.75.

In addition, it beat the Japanese yen at 2.8329/8391 from the 2.8779/8839 level previously. The Ringgit also ended higher against the Thai baht at 12.6406/6797 from 12.7549/7861. It is now the only currency briefly dominating the forex markets against the US dollar, Euro, and British Pound.

However, the ringgit increased against the Singapore dollar at 3.2301/2373 from 3.2489/2557. It also traded flat against the Indonesian rupiah at 272.1/272.9 since last Friday. Its price remained unchanged against the Philippine peso at 7.49/7.51.

If the ringgit maintains its momentum with the US dollar and Euro, it could surge much higher this month. In the next few days, we will decide on the prospects of the local Malaysian currency.
