KUALA LUMPUR, OCT 12: The Ringgit opened lower against the US Dollar in the early session on Wednesday, tracking the performance of emerging Asian currencies.
At 9.01am, the Ringgit was quoted at 4.1900/1950 against the greenback from 4.1700/1750 on Tuesday's close.
A dealer said the performance of the Renmimibi, which traded at a six-year low, coupled with the strong dollar on anticipation of the US Federal Reserve raising interest rates in December, had affected Asian currencies.
Meanwhile, the local note traded easier against a basket of major currencies, except for the Euro.
The Ringgit fell against the Yen to 4.0456/0516 from 4.0135/0198 on Tuesday and slipped against the Singapore Dollar to 3.0382/0432 from 3.0235/0273.
It gained against the Euro to 4.6274/6346 from 4.6320/6380, but weakened against the British Pound to 5.1378/1452, from yesterday's close of 5.1283/1369.
