KUALA LUMPUR (March 6): AmBank Group Research expects the ringgit (MYR) to trade between its support level of S1: 3.8931 and S2: 3.8891 while the resistance is pegged at R1: 3.9072 and R2: 3.9178 supported by falling relative strength index.

He said besides that, crude oil i.e. WTI and Brent rebounded 2.2% to US$62.59/barrel and 1.8% to US$65.54/barrel respectively, after inventories in Crushing from where US crude oil is distributed across the country were reported lower, having already reached the bottom since 2014.

“Meanwhile, the KLCI was down 0.7% to 1,842.62, as foreign funds settled at a notable net outflow of RM151.8 million.
