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.

 

Recent forecasts and updates indicate a dynamic environment for the USD to MYR exchange rate, heavily influenced by ongoing geopolitical tensions and economic considerations.

Analysts point to pronounced volatility in the US dollar, primarily due to uncertainties surrounding US-China trade relations. Key comments from US President Donald Trump suggested a possible easing of tariff threats, yet market participants remain cautious ahead of crucial remarks from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. His potential hawkish stance could support USD strength if rate cut expectations are dampened.

On the other side, the Malaysian ringgit is affected by significant local developments. The Bank Negara Malaysia made a historic decision to lower the Overnight Policy Rate to 2.75% for the first time in five years on July 9, 2025, in response to a weakening economic outlook exacerbated by trade tensions. This rate cut aims to bolster growth amid concerns that US tariffs on Malaysian exports, now at 24%, could hinder economic performance. Notably, the central bank highlighted the economy's diversification as a mitigating factor against these pressures.

The USD/MYR exchange rate is currently stable, positioned at 4.2270, which aligns closely with its three-month average and has remained within a tight 2.1% range. However, external factors such as oil prices, which have recently dropped to $62.39—7.2% below their three-month average—could introduce additional volatility for the ringgit, particularly given Malaysia's status as a significant oil exporter.

Market experts predict that continued scrutiny over US-China negotiations, coupled with upcoming inflation data and shifts in Federal Reserve policy, will be critical in determining USD performance. Concurrently, ongoing challenges for the Malaysian economy may keep the MYR under pressure, especially if foreign sentiment shifts in response to fluctuating oil prices or global economic conditions. As these factors evolve, careful monitoring will be essential for individuals and businesses engaging in international transactions involving USD and MYR.
