0434 GMT - USD/MYR may remain range-bound next week amid U.S. economic uncertainty, say Kenanga IB economists. Attention will turn to key Fed speeches for dovish hints ahead of the Jackson Hole event next week, they say. Given the uncertainty about the extent of the Fed's rate cut, ringgit may see some volatility but is likely to stay within the 4.43-4.46 range against the dollar, with potential for gains if domestic economic conditions improve further, they reckon. Kenanga pegs short-term USD/MYR resistance at 4.456 and support at 4.422. It projects the pair at 4.553 by end-3Q and at 4.416 in 4Q. USD/MYR is 0.1% higher at 4.4395. (yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
