KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit opened mixed against major and Asean currencies on Monday as investors assessed the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) rate hike on Friday.

Meanwhile, the local note opened slightly lower against the US dollar today.

At 8am, the ringgit eased to 4.0810/0865 against the greenback from last Friday's close of 4.0795/0840.

Last Friday, the BOJ raised interest rates by 0.25 per cent to 1.25 per cent, pushing borrowing costs to their highest level in 31 years, and marked its first hike since June.
