The ringgit opened stronger against the US dollar on Wednesday, supported by continued weakness in the greenback as fiscal uncertainties and tariff risks in the United States weighed on sentiment, an analyst said.

At 8am, the local note stood at 4.1870/2065 versus the greenback, up from Tuesday’s close of 4.1995/2005.

The US Dollar Index (DXY) extended its decline, easing to 96.819.
