June 22, 2022: Malaysian palm oil futures fell over 2% on Wednesday, hovering near a more than five-month low hit in the previous session, as the market tracked deep losses in crude and rival edible oils.

The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for September delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange slid 112 ringgit, or 2.25%, to 4,868 ringgit ($1,106.36) a tonne in early trade, down for a fifth session in six.
