MG News | February 16, 2022 at 09:06 AM GMT+05:00
February 16, 2022: Malaysian palm oil futures traded sideways early Wednesday as the most active contract rolled over to a new month, underpinned by a surge in early February exports but weighed by weak crude futures.
The benchmark palm oil contract for May delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange lost 7 ringgit, or 0.13%, to 5,467 ringgit ($1,305.71) a tonne by 0303 GMT.
FUNDAMENTALS
Exports of Malaysian palm oil products for Feb. 1-15 rose between 18.8% and 23.6% from the previous month, rebounding from a dismal performance in January, according to data by cargo surveyors on Tuesday.
India has raised the base import prices of palm oil, soyoil, gold and silver, the government said in a statement late on Tuesday, as prices jumped in the overseas market.
Dalian's most-active soyoil contract fell 0.5%, while its palm oil contract lost 0.3%. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade were up 0.4%.
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 break a support at 5,359 ringgit per tonne and fall to 5,217 ringgit, Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao said.
