  "summary": "The ringgit ended higher against most major and Asean currencies on Monday, despite a decline against the US dollar. This fluctuation was attributed to rising Brent crude prices and anticipation of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and Bank of Japan (BOJ) meetings, according to an analyst. The local currency depreciated to 4.0735/0770 against the greenback from last Friday's close of 4.0685/0725. Inflationary bias may solidify the rate hike thesis this week, leading to guarded Asian currencies, including the ringgit, in the near term.",
