  "summary": "The ringgit ended higher against the US dollar on Tuesday, buoyed by improving market sentiment and expectations of a de-escalation in the US-Iran conflict. The local currency rose to 4.0540/0580 against the greenback, up from Friday's close of 4.0565/0610, as US President Donald Trump suggested that further strikes against Iran were unnecessary. The conclusion of the US midterm elections could also influence the current administration's policies, contributing to the positive trend. This development comes as the ringgit traded mostly within a narrow range against the US dollar, fluctuating between RM4.0510 and RM4.0590, and as the US Dollar Index declined by 0.14 per cent to 101.51.",
