At 9.00 am, the local currency stood at 4.4570/4595 versus the greenback compared to Tuesday's close of 4.4540/4565.

"The US dollar is likely to gain further strength after experiencing some weaknesses recently,” he said.

Besides, Mohd Afzanizam said, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has surpassed 106 points at the moment as demand for the greenback has escalated.

"As such, dollar-ringgit is expected to remain weak within the RM4.45 level,” he said.

Meanwhile, the ringgit was traded higher against a basket of major currencies.

The local currency gained against the Japanese yen to 3.3308/3330 from Tuesday's close of 3.4031/4053, advanced versus the British pound to 5.4139/4170 from 5.4406/4436 yesterday.
