KUALA LUMPUR, May 20 (Bernama) -- The ringgit ended easier against the US dollar Thursday in tandem with other major regional currencies as players stayed concerned with the European zone, dealers said.
At 5pm, the local currency eased to 3.2720/2750 against the greenback from a higher 3.2510/2560 Wednesday.
A dealer said Germany's move to ban naked short-selling in some securities had increased uncertainties and influenced the forex market movement.
Another dealer said the curfew in Thailand, extended for three days following fresh anti-government violence, has also affected currency movements.
The ringgit was lower against other major currencies.
It depreciated against the Singapore dollar to 2.3277/3321 from 2.3197/3237 Wednesday and was weaker against the yen at 3.5850/5902 from 3.5491/5561 previously.
The ringgit slipped against the euro to 4.0579/0620 from 3.9584/9655 on Wednesday and against the British pound to 4.7045/7091 from 4.6398/6483 Wednesday.
