At 9.02 am, the ringgit traded at 4.2200/2280 to the US dollar from 4.2010/2070 last Friday.
A dealer said the local note is still in subdued mode due to the possibility of an interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve anytime soon.
Meanwhile, the local note was traded higher against other major currencies.
It improved against the Singapore dollar to 2.9906/9979 from Friday’s 2.9996/9056 and rose against the yen to 3.7154/7241 from 3.7236/7299.
