KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 — The ringgit continued its uptrend against the US dollar at the close today on better investor demand for the local currency, a dealer said.

At 6pm, the local note was at 4.1850/1890 against the greenback compared with Friday’s close of 4.1860/1900.

He said the ringgit remained intact after index provider FTSE Russell decided to keep Malaysia on its benchmark World Government Bond Index (WGBI) along with China.

Overall, the ringgit traded mostly higher against other major currencies.
