Analyst expects US Federal Reserve to keep rates unchanged for the time being.
KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit ended lower against the US dollar today as the greenback rose to its six-month high ahead of this week’s policy rate decisions by several major central banks including the Federal Reserve .
SPI Asset Management managing director Stephen Innes said although the Fed is likely to keep rates unchanged, it is expected to convey a resolutely hawkish stance through its statement this week.
