KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 18 (Bernama) -- The ringgit opened slightly easier against the US dollar on Wednesday due to short-covering activities by Interbank players.

One dealer said the ringgit is expected to hover around the current level ahead of Maxis' initial public offer listing tomorrow.
The ringgit opened this morning at 3.3635/3685 against yesterday's 3.3630/3680 closing.
Meanwhile, the local note was mixed against other major currencies.
It strengthened against the Singapore dollar to 2.4269/4330 from yesterday's 2.4276/4339 closing and also rose against the Japanese yen to 3.7653/7734 against 3.7838/7898 Tuesday.
The ringgit also gained against the British pound to 5.6527/6624 compared with Monday's closing at 5.6663/6754 and also rose against the euro to 5.0059/0147 against 5.0236/0325 yesterday.
