USD to MYR 2025 Forecasts

Analysis of recent dollar → ringgit forecasts for 2025. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest US dollar to Malaysian ringgit performance and trends.

 

The forecast for the USD to MYR exchange rate has seen notable developments recently, primarily driven by macroeconomic data and geopolitical tensions. Following the release of strong U.S. employment numbers, including non-farm payrolls beating expectations, the US dollar (USD) strengthened, affirming its position as a safe-haven currency amidst economic uncertainties. Analysts expect that factors such as Federal Reserve policies, particularly regarding interest rates, will continue to influence the dollar’s strength significantly.

In contrast, the Malaysian ringgit (MYR) faces headwinds due to the U.S. government's recent imposition of a 24% tariff on Malaysian imports, part of a broader trade conflict initiated by former President Trump. This has led to a negative outlook for the Malaysian currency, particularly as regional currencies are influenced by heightened trade tensions. Economists note that the MYR has suffered along with regional peers, reflecting rising fears over a global trade war and a subsequent drop in risk appetite.

Recent exchange rate data shows that the USD/MYR is currently trading at 4.2238, which is 1.7% below its three-month average of 4.298. This stability indicates a relatively tight trading range for the currency pair, fluctuating between 4.1975 and 4.4910 during this period.

Crucially, the price of oil, a significant driver for the Malaysian economy, remains elevated, with OIL to USD trading at 68.80—3.2% higher than its average of 66.66 over the past three months. Given that higher oil prices typically bolster the MYR, the interaction between oil price trends and the recent tariff actions will play a pivotal role in the currency’s trajectory.

In summary, while the U.S. dollar is expected to remain robust due to positive economic indicators and its safe-haven status, the Malaysian ringgit is likely to encounter continued challenges amid adverse trade conditions. This dynamic presents opportunities and risks for individuals and businesses seeking to navigate international transactions. Monitoring these developments will be essential to make informed currency exchange decisions.
