The Malaysian ringgit weakened against the U.S. dollar in the Asian session on Friday, as oil prices fell.

In other economic news, data from the Department of Statistics showed that Malaysia's exports grew 3.5 percent year-over-year in July, exceeding economists' expectations for a 3.2 percent rise. Imports rose notably by 5.9 percent annually in July, in contrast to a 0.8 percent decline expected by economists.

Against the greenback, the ringgit fell to a 9-day low of 4.2663 from an early high of 4.2310. At yesterday's close, the ringgit was trading at 4.2345 against the greenback.

If the ringgit extends its downtrend, it is likely to find support around the 4.31 area.
