  "summary": "The ringgit experienced a decline against the US dollar, euro, yen, and British pound on Tuesday, while gaining momentum against other currencies. At 6pm, the local currency fell to 4.0835/0880 against the greenback, down from Monday's close of 4.0735/0770. Analysts attribute this drop to caution among investors ahead of the two-day US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, with a high probability of a US rate hike this week. The US Dollar Index (DXY) rose 0.25 per cent, while the 10-year US Treasury note yield surpassed the 5.00 per cent level. Other Asian currencies also weakened against the US dollar.",
