KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit closed higher against the US dollar today on renewed buying interest in the currency. At 6pm, the local unit was quoted at 4.2190/2220 against the US dollar, from 4.2300/2330 on Thursday. A dealer said the local currency rebounded today as the greenback retreated from recent gains on profit-taking. The ringgit also traded higher against other major currencies. It rose against the Singapore dollar to 3.1063/1097 from Thursday's 3.1076/1109, and improved against the British pound to 5.6425/6482 from 5.6564/6621.
