Ringgit opens higher against US dollar

The ringgit rose against the US dollar in the early morning session today on better demand for the local note, amidst broad US dollar weakness.

At 9.10am, the local unit was quoted at 4.2950/3050 against the greenback, from 4.3220/3280 at the close on Wednesday.

A dealer said market players anticipate the United States' nonfarm payrolls report for April – which will be released later today – to show massive job losses following the Covid-19 pandemic.

Nintendo Revolution in June 2006

Gizmodo : Amazon.com France has slipped a page with the European release date and price for Nintendo's monolithic new game console, the Revolution. The release date is listed as June 15, 2006.
