The ringgit closed easier against the US dollar on lack of buying interest, said dealers.
At 5pm, the local note was quoted at 3.1880/1910 against the greenback from 3.1810/1840 last Friday.
A dealer said the weaker ringgit was also in tandem with the bearish performance in most Asian currencies in the absence of little progress being made on the US budget standoff.
Meanwhile, the local note was traded lower against most major
currencies.
The ringgit depreciated against the Singapore dollar to 2.5518/5544 from last Friday's 2.5509/5535 and fell against the yen to 3.2883/2931 from 3.2720/2761 previously.
It ended slightly lower against the British pound at 5.1234/1286 from 5.1233/1294 last Friday and declined against the Euro to 4.3312/3362 from 4.3300/3344 previously.-- Bernama
