HeadLine : Palm tracks gains in rivals to rise for second day
Date : Nov 26 2021
Malaysian palm oil futures extended gains for a second day on Thursday, as the ringgit weakened and they tracked higher prices of rivals on the Dalian Commodity Exchange, although weaker crude oil prices capped the gains. The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for February delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange edged 7 ringgit higher, or 0.6%, to 4,923 ringgit ($1,164.38). Dalian’s most-active soyoil contract DBYcv1 jumped 1.6%, while its palm oil contract DCPcv1 traded 1.8% higher. Palm oil is affected by price movements in related oils that compete in the global vegetable oils market. Aiding prices further, ringgit MYR= fell 0.5% against the dollar, making the edible oil cheaper for holders of foreign currency.Oil prices edged down on Thursday with investors waiting to see how major producers respond to the emergency crude release by major consuming countries designed to cool the market, even as data pointed to healthy U.S. fuel demand. Cheaper crude oil makes palm less attractive to be used as feedstock for biodiesel.
