April 13, 2022: Malaysian palm oil futures rose for a fourth consecutive session on Wednesday, lingering near a three-week high, tracking strength in Dalian oils and crude futures.

The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for June delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange gained 64 ringgit, or 1.04%, to 6,243 ringgit ($1,476.76) a tonne during early trade, its highest since March 24.

Stronger crude makes palm a more attractive option for biodiesel feedstock.

Dalian's most-active soyoil contract DBYcv1 rose 1%, while its palm oil contract DCPcv1 gained 2.2%. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade BOcv1 were up 0.01%.

Palm oil is affected by price movements in related oils as they compete for a share in the global vegetable oils market.

Palm oil may test a resistance at 6,326 ringgit a tonne, a break above which could lead to a gain into the 6,454-6,548 ringgit range, Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao said. TECH/C
