Ringgit Extends Gains, Wider Bullish USD/MYR Momentum Eases
MYR
Spot USD/MYR extends its move away from cyclical highs, losing altitude for the third consecutive day. The rate last operates at MYR4.7295, down 63 pips on the day, with bears looking for a sell-off past Oct 27 low of MYR4.7028. A breach of that level would bring the 50-DMA (MYR4.6254) into view. Bulls keep an eye on Nov 4 high of MYR4.7495.
