USDMYR opened at the 3.88 level yesterday amid broad USD softness. The pair tested support at 3.88 and briefly attempted to break lower, but sustained USD demand kept USDMYR supported. Thereafter, USDMYR consolidated just above the 3.88 level for the rest of the day. Overnight, economic data released in the US came out a little firmer than expected. Although US economic numbers hold up, markets are still anticipating USD rate cut towards the end of the year. Hence, the expectation around rates is not driving USD movement for now. On the back of this, USDMYR opened steadily at 3.88 level and may trade around the range of 3.88 – 3.90 today.
