KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 28<\/strong> —\u00a0The ringgit opened lower against the US dollar today as mixed \u00a0United States (US) economic data continued to support the greenback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 9 am, the local currency slid to 4.7220\/7250 against the greenback from Thursday’s close of 4.7155\/7185.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ActivTrades trader Dyogenes Rodrigues Diniz said despite the US gross domestic product (GDP) growing by 2.6 per cent year-on-year in the third quarter of 2022 (Q3 2022), its Core Durable Goods for the month of September came in at -0.5 per cent, below the expectation of 0.2 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the European Central Bank raised its interest rate by a further 75 basis points to 1.5 per cent, the highest rate since 2009.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
