The recent key swings of the USD/MYR are 3.3675 (high), 2.9600 (low), 3.0695 (high), 2.9335 (low), 3.2380 (high), 2.9873 (low), 3.2105 (high), 3.0032 (low), 3.1410 (high) and 2.9510 (low). The USD/MYR will trade towards its resistance levels in the medium to longer term. The MYR remains very weak against the USD.
