The ringgit, which has remained firm at 2.96 per US dollar, is likely to extend its present uptrend next week.
A dealer said the ringgit was able to stay above the 3.00 mark due to continuous weakening of the US dollar and high commodity prices fueling speculation that policy makers in Asia would step up tightening efforts.
