KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit eased further against the US dollar yesterday with most players remaining on the sidelines to avoid taking long positions as they await the outcome of the US Federal Reserve meeting next week.
At the close, the ringgit was quoted at 3.2780/2800 against the greenback compared with 3.2730/2760 on Thursday.
