The Malaysian ringgit weakened against the U.S. dollar in the Asian session on Tuesday, as lower commodity prices and worries about the health of Chinese and global economies dampened investor sentiment.

Against the greenback, the ringgit fell to more than a 17-year low of 4.4797 from yesterday's closing value of 4.4250.

If the ringgit extends its downtrend, it is likely to find support around the 4.77 area.
