Ringgit Edges Higher Against Dollar at Reopening, but Weakens Against Major Peers

The ringgit’s 8am dollar quote improved slightly after the holiday, while its weaker opening rates against several major currencies underline a mixed session.

Kuala Lumpur, 10 November 2026 – The ringgit opened marginally firmer against the US dollar, quoted at RM4.0550/RM4.0610 per dollar at 8am Malaysia time, compared with Friday’s close of RM4.0565/RM4.0610. Trading resumed after Monday’s Deepavali replacement holiday, with investors assessing the US interest-rate outlook and global developments. The small opening improvement against the dollar was not matched across all major currencies.

For Malaysian businesses, the mixed performance matters because a gain against one currency does not reduce every foreign-currency payment in the same way. The ringgit weakened against the euro, sterling and Singapore dollar at the reported opening snapshot. These are time-specific quotations, not the day’s closing rates or evidence that the currency will move in one direction throughout the session.
