Description
The ringgit’s performance in the past two weeks is unreal.
It has gained 3.50% in 8 days, from RM4.6588 to a 12-month high of RM4.4320, before settling at RM4.4635 against the US dollar.
This massive movement has not been seen since November 2022, when the local note strengthened from RM4.7380 to RM4.50.
In this session, financial experts Hann and Sani are back to talk about the ringgit's movements, what it means for you, and most importantly, will it hit RM4.00 before 2024 ends?
