> The ringgit closed at 4.0565/0610 per US dollar, weaker than Thursday’s 4.0445/0490. Global risk aversion, selling in the semiconductor sector and safe-haven demand for the US dollar weighed on the currency as traders awaited US employment data.

## Why it matters

A weaker ringgit raises the local-currency cost of dollar-priced feed and agricultural commodity imports, all else equal. The story concerns currency-market pressure, not a change in physical commodity supply or demand.
