The ringgit strengthened to 4.1300/1350 against the US dollar on a Friday-to-Friday basis from 4.1480/1510. Analysts expect next week's performance to hinge on the Trump-Xi meeting over the weekend and an OPEC+ decision on production cuts.
A ringgit rally on easing US-China tensions and firmer oil would reduce pressure on Malaysia's palm oil and other commodity-linked exports priced in dollars, with limited direct effect on feed grain prices.
