The ringgit is projected to weaken next week during the final trading period of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, with fluctuations likely between 4.47 and 4.50. Stephen Innes, managing partner of SPI Asset Management, anticipates Asian currencies, including the ringgit, to experience a cautious period as market participants navigate mixed signals and geopolitical concerns during the thin trading week.

He explains that while the US dollar typically weakens seasonally at this time, President-elect Donald Trump's impending tariffs introduce an added layer of uncertainty. Locally, investors also adopt a cautious stance due to concerns regarding China's economic issues, particularly the substantial US$411 billion special bond issuance planned for next year and its potential impact on consumer demand.
